TMS for Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Dr Stephanie Barrett, working closely with the London Psychiatry Centre and renowned pain specialist Dr Chris Jenner, is excited to bring you this pioneering treatment for the symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been found to be effective at reducing pain and improving the quality of life of people suffering from this debilitating condition.
It does this by targeting the area of the brain that is responsible for processing pain and sensory input. This area has been shown to be overactive in fibromyalgia patients, so by calming this area and bringing activity levels back to within a healthy range, the severity of the symptoms can be reduced.
