TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to non-invasively stimulate the brain in the prefrontal cortex (the region of the brain associated with mood regulation).

During a TMS treatment NYC, a clinician gently places a magnetic coil against one side of a patient’s head.

The magnetic fields penetrate approximately two to three centimeters beneath the scull directly into the brain to produce electrical currents. These currents activate cells within the brain that are thought to release neurotransmitters, which play a role in mood regulation. Since depression is believed to be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, TMS helps restore balance and relieve the symptoms of depression.

highly concentrated, magnetic fields which turn on and off very rapidly.
These magnetic fields are the same type and strength as those produced by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine.

This procedure is completely painless and non-invasive, performed similarly to an MRI scan of the brain. Each treatment session takes about 30 minutes to perform, and patients can resume their regular activities immediately after each TMS session. To achieve effective results, patients will need to undergo multiple visits each week for three to six weeks, depending on their individual condition.

TMS requires no anesthesia or sedation and patients are awake and alert during the procedure. Because no medications are administered, there are no systemic side effects or cognitive after-effects (memory loss and ability to concentrate); therefore, patients can return immediately to regular activity.

During a TMS therapy session at Trifecta Health, the patient sits in a comfortable reclining chair similar to that found in a dentist’s office. A headset is applied to deliver the magnetic stimulation. Ear plugs are provided to decrease the loud clicks associated with each magnetic pulse and the patient is given the option of watching TV. During the procedure, the patient is monitored continuously to ensure correct positioning and comfort level.

Trifecta Health in New York pioneered the technique of engaging the patient in Cognitive/Supportive Psychotherapy during the course of TMS treatments, administered by a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Common signs and symptoms of ADHD in adults include:

• Poor concentration

• Short attention span

• Lack of organization

• Forgetfulness

• Difficulty starting and/or finishing projects

• Moving from one task to another, being involved in too many projects simultaneously

• Time-management issues, such as overestimating available time or the time it takes to finish a task

• Making impulsive decisions, poor planning, impulsive spending

• Difficulty interacting with others, interrupting others

Not every person with ADHD reports all of these symptoms, nor do they experience the severity of ADHD symptoms to the same degree.

More than 10,000 TMS treatments were safely performed during clinical trials. Patients reported no side effects like those associated with antidepressant medication (weight gain, dry mouth, drowsiness, sexual side effects, etc.), and no cognitive side effects. Scalp discomfort during the procedure is the most common side effect.

TMS therapy should not be used for patients with implanted metallic devices that include metal plates in the skull or aneurysm coils, clips or stents. Special precautions are recommended for individuals with implants, such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators

Most adults occasionally experience inattentive, impulsive, and hyperactive behaviors from time to time. Every person has an occasional experience of misplacing keys, getting distracted at work, blurting out something on impulse or interrupting inadvertently. However, for adults with ADHD, these symptoms appear more often and may create challenges in the work place.

Both private and public insurers are determining eligibility for TMS therapy on an individual basis. However, until TMS is accepted more widely as a medically necessary treatment, insurance coverage will most likely not be authorized. Patients should work directly with their insurers to determine coverage. Patients can then work with a Patient Account representative to arrange payment schedules and to obtain assistance in applying for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses from their insurers.

Trifecta Health teamed up with Neuronetics, the manufacturer of TMS equipment, to work with patients’ insurance carriers to maximize insurance reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses associated with TMS.

Adults with ADHD are less likely to have intense hyperactivity. Instead they are more likely to feel restless, fidget a lot, have difficulty relaxing and feel on edge a lot of the time. A typical ADHD adult may have gone through life being constantly misunderstood. A diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder is frequently very liberating to a person who has struggled all of his or her life with symptoms that they could not define or understand. Smoking, drinking alcohol and, in some cases, drug use are also more common among ADHD adults.
