How Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is performed
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation uses a coil placed on the scalp to generate brief magnetic field pulses, inducing plasticity changes in the cerebral cortex to modulate tic-related neural networks. A common practice is to perform multiple short-term treatments at a predetermined frequency and intensity after specialist evaluation, and to combine with localization or navigation if necessary to improve repeatability. During treatment, discomfort on the scalp, headaches, and other reactions are monitored, and parameters are adjusted according to tolerance and evaluation results, with the goal of improving symptoms and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Combining preoperative evaluation and completion follow-up, the overall stay in China is usually approximately 2–5 weeks; the actual time depends on the schedule and individual pace.
