What is TMS therapy?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain responsible for regulating stress, mood and sleep. It has been studied for over 40 years and is used in clinics worldwide.

The technology

How TMS therapy works

TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the part of the brain linked to sleep, stress and mood. We use EXOMIND by BTL, a non-invasive device designed to support mental wellbeing.

    The coil

    A light applicator rests against your forehead while you sit back in a reclined chair, fully awake.

  2. 2

    Gentle magnetic pulses

    Pulses pass painlessly through the skin and skull. Most people feel a light tapping or tingling.

  3. 3

    The prefrontal cortex

    The pulses stimulate the region of the brain involved in regulating mood and stress.

Non-invasive

No needles, no medication and no anaesthetic.

Comfortable

25 minutes in a reclined chair, with earplugs provided.

No downtime

Drive home or go straight back to work.

Safety comes first

TMS uses a magnetic field, so the same safety rules apply as for an MRI scan. If you can't have an MRI, you can't have TMS.

Often a good fit

  • Adults whose sleep is wearing them down
  • People who feel stressed, low or wired
  • Anyone wanting a medication-free option

Not suitable if you

  • Have metal or an implanted device in or near your head
  • Have epilepsy or a history of seizures
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Not sure? Fillings, braces and dental implants are fine. Our doctor confirms you're suitable before any treatment begins.

Quick safety check

Answer each question to see if anything rules you out.

  1. Do you have metal implants, clips or fragments in or near your head?Fillings, braces, bridges and single dental implants are fine.
  2. Do you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant or any implanted stimulator?
  3. Have you ever had epilepsy or a seizure?
  4. Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
  5. Have you had a brain tumour, or a head injury where you lost consciousness?
  6. Do you have tattoos with metallic ink on your head or neck?

Answer all six questions to see your result.

The research

Built on 40 years of TMS research

TMS is one of the most studied brain stimulation technologies in medicine. Using it to support everyday wellbeing is newer, and we'll always be honest about where that research stands.

  1. 1985

    TMS is born

    The first TMS device is demonstrated in Sheffield, UK.

  2. 2008

    Cleared for depression

    After years of clinical trials, TMS is cleared by the US FDA to treat depression.

  3. Today

    EXOMIND by BTL

    The ExoTMS protocol is being studied for sleep, mood, stress response and self-control.

Sleep & stress study

A clinical study focused on sleep

BTL has completed a sham-controlled clinical study looking at EXOMIND for sleep quality and stress.

  • 6treatment sessions
  • PSQIa standard sleep quality questionnaire
  • 1 & 3month follow-ups

What does sham-controlled mean? Some participants received a placebo version of the treatment, so real effects can be told apart from expectation.

Our honest take: the evidence for TMS as a technology is extensive. Research on EXOMIND specifically for wellbeing is newer and still growing, and our doctor will talk you through what to realistically expect.
