rTMS equipment

Our experience and expertise with rTMS* in clinical practice and research is unmatched. Since 2006, we pioneered the technique in the Netherlands and have since then refined and advanced our knowledge and expertise to the point of perfection. We have seen equipment evolve over time, from ‘vacuum-cleaner’ based TMS cooling devices, via blown-up stimulators and the dTMS head-mounted coils to the highly portable TMS systems we can carry around for easy demonstrations. Furthermore, we’ve been instrumental in the development of new innovative TMS approaches such as Heart-Brain Coupling, and always keep the patient-perspective in mind.

We have experience with all major TMS systems and never shy in engaging with manufacturers when it comes to improving their equipment.

Our feedback matters, manufacturers listen. And we listen to you.

More information?
The devices that we work with are best-in-class, and of course they’re medical CE approved. All systems we recommend are capable of standard rTMS protocols (HF or LF TMS) as well as iTBS. Furthermore, devices can be used for DLPFC stimulation as well as more experimental protocols such as OFC-stimulation using double-cone coils.

If you are interested to apply rTMS in your own practice, or have further questions, please contact us for advice, and of course we’d be happy to provide you with a quotation too.

* What is rTMS?

rTMS stands for repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or brain stimulation in short. When applying rTMS, a coil is put at a precise and particular location on the head. The strong magnetic field generated by the coil is converted into pulses which exit the device and then easily penetrates through the skull to reach the brain. These strong magnetic pulses can stimulate specific parts of the brain and can help normalize connectivity within specific functional networks that are implicated in for example mood or compulsions as seen in depression or OCD.
