PTSD involves dysregulation of the fear processing network, particularly hyperactivity in the amygdala and underactivity in the prefrontal cortex. TMS helps rebalance these circuits, reducing hypervigilance and intrusive memories.
TMS therapy targets the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using high-frequency or theta burst stimulation. A magnetic coil placed against the scalp delivers focused pulses, promoting neuroplasticity over the course of treatment.
