TECHNICALLY PROVEN MECHANISM OF TMS TMS therapy is an outpatient procedure and does not require anesthesia or sedation, so the patient can go back to daily life right after treatment. Unlike other treatments, such as electro-convulsive therapy(ect), TMS does not cause cognitive side effects or memory problems. Time-varying electrical current in a coil is produced. Why TMS Therapy? (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) is a safe, non-invasive therapy method that uses rapidly changing magnetic field to stimulate the neurons in the brain. It is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder(MDD), and other certain conditions, for adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication. Also, TMS is widely accepted as a unique research tool for the investigation of broad variety of issues in different fields: Cognitive Neuroscience- in studying mental processes related to memory, speech, perception and functional connection More focused magnetic field from figure of 8 shaped transducer passes unimpeded through skull. MRI images for patients with Depression and ADHD after TMS treatment 20 Hz 1 Hz Neurons in the cortex of brain (PFC) is stimulated to lead to behavioral changes. Psychiatry- to influence specific brain function within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex Neurophysiology- used in the stimulation of the peripheral and central nerve pathways Rehabilitation- used in the promotion of muscle recovery and the relief of nerve spasticity 03 04 Patient with Depression Patient with ADHD

Received: 17 December 2008 /Accepted: 9 February 2009 /Published online: 24 February 2009 # Springer-Verlag 2009 Abstract Due to the possible adverse effects on fetus, the treatment of pregnant women with depression is a difficult problem in the field of psychiatry. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) was used to treat three pregnant women with depression in the early pregnancy. After systemic treatments, the patient's depressive symptoms significantly relieved, and each of them smoothly provided a healthy baby. Up to now, we have not found that rtms can be harmful to fetuses. RTMS may be a good choice for pregnant women with depression. Keywords Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms).

However, we have not found an appropriate treatment until now. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration has not approved any kind of the antidepressant drugs which could be used for pregnant women. Adrienne Einarson et al. (2008) concluded that paroxetine did not appear to be associated with an increasing risk of fetal defects following use in early pregnancy. But Barbara Mintzes and Jureidini (2008) questioned the former conclusion. As we know, due to the possibility of adverse effects on the fetus, there are still a lot of controversies in the area of applying antidepressant to pregnant women. The treatment of depression in pregnant women also is a difficulty in the field of psychiatry, but repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) may be a good choice for pregnant women with depression. RTMS is a new neuro-electrophysiological technique, which is developed on the basis of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). With its unique characteristics of noninvasion, simplicity, and security, rtms has been widely applied in the areas of research and therapies for neuropsychiatric diseases, especially for treating depression. RTMS can enhance the excitement of the brain through adjusting the biological activities of the cerebral cortex and then has wide biological effects, which is one basic mechanism of therapy for depression (Wassermann and Lisanby 2001). Many researchers (Shajahan et al. 2002) found that rtms was effective in treating depression and the by-effects were not obvious. However, few scholars tried to use rtms to treat pregnant women with depression for its uncertain effects. In our hospital, three pregnant women with depression received the therapy of rtms in the early pregnancy. After systemic treatments, the patient's depressive symptoms 09 10
