Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Research for Schizophrenia
Robert Buchanan MD
Introduction
 A psychiatrist and neurosurgeon, Robert Buchanan, MD, leads
as chief of neurosurgery at Seton Brain & Spine Institute in
Austin, Texas, where he balances clinical care with research.
Trained in the subspecialty of functional neurosurgery, Dr.
Robert Buchanan leads his laboratory team in investigating
the use of magnetic stimulation for schizophrenia and other
conditions.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, creates magnetic
pulses that reduce activity in a particular area of the brain.
Strong but painless and brief in nature, the treatment is
entirely non-invasive because the pulses are able to travel
through the bone of the skull.
Although it is new and still the topic of research, TMS has
become a potential treatment for some patients with
schizophrenia.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
 This serious mental illness causes patients to experience
auditory and visual hallucinations, which medication may
not necessarily alleviate. TMS may offer hope to patients
whose schizophrenia has not responded to medication,
as well as to those who cannot or will not take medication
because of its potential side effects.
According to studies published in the journal Biological
Psychiatry, TMS may help to address the memory
difficulties that many patients with schizophrenia
experience. Research is also underway to determine
whether the treatment may alleviate auditory
hallucinations, which are particularly unlikely to respond
to medication. Recent research shows that patients
experience significantly more symptom relief with TMS
than with a placebo stimulation, though more
investigations must occur to verify efficacy.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Research for Schizophrenia

  • 1. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Research for Schizophrenia Robert Buchanan MD
  • 2. Introduction  A psychiatrist and neurosurgeon, Robert Buchanan, MD, leads as chief of neurosurgery at Seton Brain & Spine Institute in Austin, Texas, where he balances clinical care with research. Trained in the subspecialty of functional neurosurgery, Dr. Robert Buchanan leads his laboratory team in investigating the use of magnetic stimulation for schizophrenia and other conditions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, creates magnetic pulses that reduce activity in a particular area of the brain. Strong but painless and brief in nature, the treatment is entirely non-invasive because the pulses are able to travel through the bone of the skull. Although it is new and still the topic of research, TMS has become a potential treatment for some patients with schizophrenia.
  • 3. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation  This serious mental illness causes patients to experience auditory and visual hallucinations, which medication may not necessarily alleviate. TMS may offer hope to patients whose schizophrenia has not responded to medication, as well as to those who cannot or will not take medication because of its potential side effects. According to studies published in the journal Biological Psychiatry, TMS may help to address the memory difficulties that many patients with schizophrenia experience. Research is also underway to determine whether the treatment may alleviate auditory hallucinations, which are particularly unlikely to respond to medication. Recent research shows that patients experience significantly more symptom relief with TMS than with a placebo stimulation, though more investigations must occur to verify efficacy.
