Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

[AjaStar]

Still 3 years and my FND has not improved even with therapy. Has anyone tried Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)? It’s supposed to stimulate the nerves.

I know someone who had it done as part of a clinical trial for depression and she developed FND (didn't have it before). She'd signed a waiver so they wouldn't talk about it, just sent her to a neuropsychiatrist, who said it was conversion disorder and she should get a boyfriend! I also saw a webinar with a doctor who uses it and said they should be honest about adverse effects. I'll try to find the link and post it. I think they don't know enough about it yet.

I think it's this one - he also talks about functional dystonia towards the end: dystoniacanada.org/events/t...

Someone who posts on here called Rob mentioned it in a reply to me. He said his partner had it and said it worked for them.
