Feeling down? Magnetize crown.
Who would have guessed it?
Geneva's University Hospital has just reported impressive results after treating 30 clinically depressed patients with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
TMS applies a very strong magnetic field to the patient's brain to precisely irradiate a cone of just a few cubic centimetres under the cranium.
Half of the patients responded well to the treatment.
This is is mainstream medicine. A recognised treatment in Canada and Israel, TMS is covered by national health insurance schemes there. The technique is also used in Spain, the US, France, Germany, Britain, Finland and Austria.
A word of warning though. If you have a steel plate in your head, be sure to notifiy your doctor before treatment.
