Staff are very good, positive patient and friendly. The rTMS sessions are long and the magnet is heavy and uncomfortable and the treatment programme is long and intense and needs travelling into hospital. It would be better if the technology develops to make the treatment less intensive.

Response from Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

Thank you for your comment, as you say the magnet is heavy and can be uncomfortable although we do our best to put you in the most comfortable position. We have a new magnetic coil with a police system to reduce the feeling of heaviness from the coil. We are now using a newer version of rTMS called theta burst, this is much faster but equally as effective as the 40 minute treatment but only takes 3 minutes.
