Experimental depression treatment is nearly 80% effective in controlled study
by Mandy Erickson, Stanford University Medical Center Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A new type of magnetic brain stimulation brought rapid remission to almost 80% of participants with severe depression in a study conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The treatment, known as Stanford accelerated intelligent neuromodulation therapy (SAINT) or simply Stanford neuromodulation therapy, is an...
Magnetic brain stimulation helps “unlearn” crippling fear of heights
New research suggests a little magnetic brain stimulation prior to being exposed to your greatest fear in a VR headset could help you “unlearn” your anxiety response Advances in technology over the last decade have led to a swift rise in the volume of research surrounding transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and its therapeutic effects. A...
Healthier gut bacteria and weight loss achieved through magnetic brain stimulation
A new study shows that a person’s gut microbiota can be positively altered through non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation For several years now, researchers have been building on a series of studies that have displayed links between non-invasive, deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) and reduced food cravings. Now, for the first time, research has shown that...
