Understanding Anxiety Treatment with TMS in Kansas

Anxiety disorders are associated with overactivity in the right prefrontal cortex and amygdala. Low-frequency TMS to the right DLPFC reduces this hyperactivity, helping regulate the fear and worry response.

While TMS for anxiety is not yet FDA-cleared for this specific indication, growing clinical evidence supports its effectiveness. Some Kansas providers offer this treatment off-label.

How TMS Treats Anxiety

TMS therapy targets the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using low-frequency (1 Hz) inhibitory stimulation. A magnetic coil placed against the scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region, promoting neuroplasticity over the course of treatment.

Treatment Protocol

• Sessions: 20-30 sessions over 4-6 weeks
• Duration: 19-37 minutes per session
• Devices commonly used: NeuroStar, MagVenture, BrainsWay
• Success rate: 40-50% response
