Neuroestimulacion Malaga

The most advanced brain therapy in the hands of the best professionals

At Neurostimulation Málaga we have state-of-the-art equipment (MagVenture) that allows us to administer all the approved treatment protocols, in addition to having the special D-B80 coil that, due to its angled shape, allows the stimulation of deeper structures and allows the treatment of depression, pain, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, post-stroke rehabilitation or addictions.

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain.
This procedure involves applying mild magnetic pulses to the scalp, generated by an electromagnetic coil, which induces electrical currents in the brain. These electrical currents can modify neuronal activity in specific regions of the brain, which can have therapeutic effects in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation -Neuroestimulacion Malaga

One of the most notable features of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is its ability to deliver precise, focused stimulation to specific areas of the brain . This precision allows therapies to be directed towards specific brain regions involved in certain disorders or cognitive functions, which can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce possible side effects.

TMS is generally considered safe and well tolerated when applied correctly. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as headaches or discomfort at the stimulation site.

Clinical Applications

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is clinically indicated for Major Depression, especially in cases of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) that have not responded to pharmacological treatment.

This is a non-invasive neuromodulation procedure that safely modulates key brain circuits, requiring neither hospital admission nor anesthesia. A typical treatment cycle generally includes 20 to 30 sessions.

rTMS offers an excellent safety profile, with adverse effects (mild discomfort) being minimal and transitory, allowing the patient to resume their daily activities immediately.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure clinically indicated for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), especially in cases resistant to prior treatments.

The technique uses focal pulses to modulate key neural networks, such as the fronto-striatal networks (involved in impulse control), seeking to reduce the severity of obsessions and compulsions. Typical treatment in our unit lasts 4 to 6 weeks (~20-minute outpatient sessions).

We monitor patient progress using specialized scales like Y-BOCS and coordinate closely with the psychiatry department, ensuring an excellent tolerance and safety profile.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that modulates key brain circuits involved in impulse control and decision-making.

It is indicated for the treatment of addictions (including cocaine, alcohol, tobacco, gambling disorder, etc.), with the primary goal of reducing craving (urge to consume) and improving executive control.

The program is intensive, featuring an initial phase of 10 to 15 high-frequency sessions targeting the prefrontal area (DLPFC). Its excellent safety profile allows for immediate integration with psychosocial therapies and daily life, facilitating abstinence or a significant reduction in substance use.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) emerges as a non-pharmacological treatment option for neuropathic pain.

The procedure works by modulating cerebral neural pathways associated with pain processing and perception. Its mechanism focuses on inhibiting the abnormal neuronal hyperexcitability characteristic of this condition, while also inducing plastic changes (neuroplasticity) that can reduce the intensity and persistence of the pain.

This offers a customizable treatment with the potential to significantly reduce the pharmacological burden on the patient.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a promising tool in post-stroke rehabilitation.

It is a non-invasive procedure that facilitates cerebral plasticity and neuronal reorganization, aiming to improve functional recovery. The clinical benefits of TMS focus on the improvement of motor function, speech recovery, and cognitive function, in addition to helping reduce spasticity.

This offers a crucial, complementary therapeutic pathway for stroke survivors.
