Re: [DIYbio] Re: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) circuit model

Of course it works: with enough current you can even put someone to sleep, permanently. That's a result, right? :)

More seriously though, if electroconvulsive therapy counts as TDS then it actually has a long history of efficaceous use.. for a handful of conditions. I have a feeling most people would consider TDS more narrowly focused, literally and figuratively, than ECT though.

I'm also aware of no double blind studies but would be interested to read. TDS is something I won't try until I see others living a long, healthy life after, but it's fascinating to watch.

so, if there are clinical trials.. do you have the data?
homepathy also have clinical trials

i have been hearing about this lately, but i'm still waiting to see real data. I understund it can be hard since this is mainly applied to pain-relative diseases, which have a strong subjective evaluation component
also, how does it work? really dont understand how FDA approved such treatment unknowing the action mechanism. 

if there is no data, for me is just more snake oil

Ignoring this particular circuit for a moment, TMS does work. It's become a pretty standard tool in the non-invasive neuroscience research toolkit.

What it does for a given stimulation protocol and target location on the scalp is a different question. Some options are pretty well validated, even have clinical trials behind them, but those encompass only a tiny fraction of the full range of possible protocols and answer an equally small fraction of the full range of behavioral questions we might have asked about the effects of those.

does TMS work or is just another miracle cure? any review?
