The Food and Drug Administration has not approved TMS for any psychiatric treatment at this time. Therefore TMS is only available as a research procedure. TMS has been approved in Canada and Israel as a treatment of depression for patients who have not responded to medications and who might ordinarily be considered for a trial of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
. . . .
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a technique for gently stimulating the brain. It utilizes a specialized electromagnet placed on the patient’s scalp that generates short magnetic pulses, roughly the strength of an MRI scanner’s magnetic field but much more focused.

Kennelijk geen kinderspeelgoed.
Maar toch wordt geadverteerd met:

The following conditions have been successfully treated
(some conditions need twice daily treatment):

Enhancing savant like creative abilities, Autism, auditory hallucinations, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, memory impairment, sleepiness, depersonalization, mania, schizophrenia, Tinnitus, multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, post-stroke, Pain After Spinal Cord Injury, Panic Disorder, epilepsy, regional pain syndrome, migraine, PTSD

en wordt met een video over algemeen onderzoek gesuggereerd dat Stewarts apparaat al aan de onbekende toekomst voldoet.
Een ander TMS-apparaat, de NEUROSTAR heeft een FDA-inschrijving die slechts gebruik als noodmiddel toelaat:

NeuroStar TMS Therapy is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from one prior antidepressant medication at or above the minimal effective dose and duration in the current episode.

De TMS van Stewart wordt tussen nog meer Rare Apparaten aangeboden

en dat is op zich al een waarschuwing waard.
