Neuromodulation Unit
The MUHC offers Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) – a safe, non-invasive treatment for depression and other brain-related conditions.
rTMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to help the brain work better. It does not need surgery, needles, or sleep medicine (anesthesia).
We offer rTMS to people:
- with depression, or other conditions, when other treatments haven't worked
- who qualify for one of our research studies
- with other disorders who qualify for rTMS
- Each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
- You will need about 20 to 30 sessions over 6 to 8 weeks.
- You are awake the whole time and can go home after.
rTMS is covered by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ).
If you're in a research study, it's also free.
Your care, our priority
At the MUHC, we will:
- Treat you with care and respect.
- Help you understand your treatment options.
- Follow international guidelines for safety and quality.
