What Conditions Does TMS Help Treat?
At Cafal Clinic, we use TMS primarily to treat:

What to Expect During TMS Treatment

- Each session lasts about 20–40 minutes, with no downtime afterward.
- Treatment typically takes place 5 days a week for 4–6 weeks.
Patients often report improved mood, energy, focus, and sleep, without the side effects associated with medication.
