rTMS for Anxiety and Panic Attacks: How It Works
Anxiety is connected to body symptoms triggered by our brain as a reaction on imagined dangers
The stimulation of several brain regions simultaneously, especially the left brain region and the hippocampus, may give relief against panic attacks and anxiety.
- Low-frequency parietal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation reduces fear and anxiety
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the right prefrontal cortex in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder: a randomized, double-blind sham controlled clinical trial
- The effect of bilateral low-frequency rTMS over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on serum brain-derived neurotropic factor and serotonin in patients with generalized anxiety disorder
- Improvements of emotion regulation following repetitve transcranial magnetic stimulation for generalized anxiety disorder
- Treating anxious depression using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
- Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of panic disorder (PD) with comorbid major depression
- A preliminary study of MRI-guided rTMS in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder
Is rTMS an option for you?
That cannot be answered in general terms. It depends on your symptom profile, how things have developed and what you have already tried. We go through exactly that in the free phone consultation – and we will also tell you when a course of rTMS is not the right next step for you.
Treatment takes place at our main practice in Zurich or at a partner practice of the Neuro-Spa Group: in Germany, among others in Munich and Schwäbisch Hall, with further practices internationally. If you would rather go to a partner practice, please contact it directly – all addresses and phone numbers are listed in the location overview.
