rTMS

Posted by zola on May 28, 2005, at 19:20:37

Hi, just wondering if anybody has any experience with or knowledge of rapid trans magnetic stimulation. It's only in a trial state in the US but is being used in Canada. I'm considering it as I've tried so many meds that didn't work.
Thanks, Zola

it's being used in canada?

I know that it is being used at McMaster University, in Hamilton Ontario (just outside Toronto).

There's a contact person listed on this page:

You can email them and find out what's shaking.

The website is www.mindcarecentre.com. They are in Vancouver and Toronto. I am starting treatment in Vancouver on June 13th. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Mindcare Centres (Vancouver BC and Toronto ON) use rTMS. I have yet to contact them but will soon do so since nothing else has helped my wife with her problem.
