Spectrum News interviewed Dr. Randal about a new alternative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, or TMS, she is now offering in partnership with Clearwave Mental Health in Latham.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments or who have experienced negative side effects with medications. 80% of patients get symptom improvement and 50% go into symptom remission.
"A lot of the patients that we see are ones that have already gone through a lot of medication trials and they've either failed because they haven't had full symptom response or they haven't been able to tolerate the side effects of these medications,” said Randall.
