What are the parameters
that govern the TMS?

  • Intensity
  • Frequency
  • Duration
  • Type of stimulation
  • Time between stimulation
  • Brain state
  • Coil type
  • Application site

Intensity

It is determined by the current and speed at
which is reproduced and the magnetic pulse is produced and withdrawn.

Frequency

  • Low frequencies (below 1 Hz) produce cortical inhibition.
  • High frequencies (greater than 5 Hz) produce excitatory effects.

Session duration

The duration of the session determines the
number of pulses the patient will receive:

Total number of pulses = Frequency x Time of
stimulation.
