If you live in Bowling Green and are considering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), confirm where treatment would take place before making plans. Resova Health currently provides TMS in person at its Fairfax, Virginia clinical center. This article does not describe a Resova TMS clinic in Bowling Green. Virtual psychiatric follow-up, where available and licensed, is separate from the in-office TMS procedure. Resova TMS service information
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted brain regions. It can be an option for some people whose depression has not responded to other treatment. A clinician must assess whether it is suitable for you. Treatment does not require anesthesia, but it can cause discomfort, headache or dizziness; seizures are possible, although the risk is low. Outcomes and treatment schedules vary. NIMH: Brain Stimulation Therapies
Before arranging travel, ask the care team:
- Where will every treatment session occur, and what schedule is proposed?
- What evaluation is needed, and which parts can occur remotely?
- What does your insurer require, and what would you pay?
- How will follow-up and your other treatment be coordinated?
Confirm clinical eligibility, appointment availability and coverage for your situation. Do not rely on a promised response rate or immediate relief when deciding on care. If you need crisis support, call or text 988; call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
