“Magnetström against depression in a number of regions”
“Several regions are in the works to offer treatment TMS for depression, reports the Echo.”
“Method, transcranial magnetstimulering, is to send in the weak current in the patient’s brain through magnetic coils on its head.”
“– the Brain communicating normally with the electrical impulses going through the nerve fibers and with magnetspolen so we can create small currents in the brain that affect this signaling process. It has been shown to help people who are not being helped by other types of treatment, ” says Jonas Persson, a postdoctoral researcher in neuroscience at Uppsala university, to the Echo.”
“Method, which two years ago recommended by the national Board of health, is already used in six regions in the country and is on track to be introduced in a further four: Skåne, Västra Götaland, Kalmar and Västernorrland.”
“The much more common elbehandlingen ECT is considered to be a more effective method but requires that the patient are captured down. ECT can also cause memory lapses.”
