TMS for Cognitive Impairment

---

Cognitive impairment encompasses a range of symptoms that affect memory, problem-solving, attention, and other mental abilities. Conditions like mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia are examples of cognitive impairments that can significantly impact daily life. Patients with cognitive impairment may experience difficulty recalling recent events, lose track of conversations, or find it challenging to make decisions.

TMS works by delivering gentle magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain responsible for memory and thinking. These pulses help activate underperforming neural networks, encouraging better communication between brain cells and restoring cognitive functions. Over time, patients often experience:

1. Improved Memory Recall: TMS stimulates areas tied to memory storage, enabling easier recall of recent events and information.
2. Sharper Focus and Attention: Patients may find it easier to concentrate on tasks and engage in conversations without losing track.
3. Better Problem-Solving: Enhanced neural activity can aid in planning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
4. Slower Cognitive Decline: While not a cure for dementia, TMS has shown promise in reducing the speed at which cognitive abilities decline.
