Can children undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation every day?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) refers to the treatment using transcranial magnetic stimulation devices. Children can generally undergo TMS treatment every day, which is beneficial for relieving symptoms and does not have any adverse effects on the body. TMS is a relatively safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment method with a long treatment cycle. Clinically, it can be used to alleviate anxiety, depression, Parkinson's disease, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and other conditions. Therefore, children can use this method daily under the guidance of a doctor to treat their illnesses.
TMS works by utilizing time-varying pulsed magnetic fields to act on the central nervous system, altering the membrane potential of cortical nerve cells to generate induced currents, which affect brain metabolism and neural activity to achieve therapeutic goals. During the treatment process, it generally does not cause harm to the body, and the side effects are relatively minor, making it suitable for long-term treatment. During the treatment period, regular hospital visits for follow-up should be scheduled to closely monitor the progress of the disease, maintain proper daily care, ensure adequate rest, exercise appropriately, eat a healthy diet, and maintain a pleasant mood. If any abnormalities are confirmed during this period, early hospital examination and effective measures for relief should be taken.
