A magnetic coil is positioned on the patient's head.<unk>  is non-invasive and does not require surgery or electrode implantation. Its use can be divided into diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Effects vary based on frequency and intensity of the magnetic pulses as well as the length of treatment, which dictates the total number of pulses given.<unk>  treatments are approved by the FDA in the USA and by NICE in the UK for the treatment of depression and are predominantly provided by private clinics.<unk>  stimulates cortical tissue without the pain sensations produced in transcranial electrical stimulation. Diagnosis<unk>  can be used clinically to measure activity and function of specific brain circuits in humans, most commonly with single or paired magnetic pulses. The most widely accepted use is in measuring the connection between the primary motor cortex of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system to evaluate damage related to past or progressive neurologic insult. Treatment Repetitive high frequency<unk>  (rTMS) has shown diagnostic and therapeutic potential with the central nervous system in a variety of disease states, particularly in the fields of neurology and mental health.
