TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in long covid brain fog. By modulating neural activity in these areas, TMS can help restore normal brain function and reduce symptoms.
While TMS for long covid brain fog is not yet FDA-cleared for this specific indication, growing clinical evidence supports its effectiveness. Some Palm Springs providers offer this treatment off-label. Insurance coverage may be limited — check with individual clinics for details.
TMS therapy targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using repetitive TMS (rTMS). During each session, a magnetic coil placed against your scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region. Over the course of treatment, this repeated stimulation promotes neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new neural connections and restore healthy patterns of activity.
