rTMS brain magnetic stimulation workshop

Magnetic stimulation of the brain, after years of research, has now opened a place for itself as one of the methods of intervention in the treatment of psychological diseases. The known functions of this method in the treatment of clinical disorders so far include movement and speech disorders caused by strokes, tinnitus, Parkinson’s, nervous tics, and in the field of psychological applications of this treatment method, specific stimulation of the brain region involved in psychological disease can also be used. He specifically mentioned schizophrenia. There are proven treatment protocols with this method in the treatment of diseases such as addiction, major depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.

This course aims to introduce the principles of working with TMS and familiarization with appropriate therapeutic protocols in a theoretical-practical manner.
