Company Profile
Medicaid Systems, Chandigarh (India) focusing on research, manufacturing and distribution of medical instruments, was founded in 1987 as a high-tech company, Our product line covers a wide range of Neuro-psychiatry Instruments. Most of the leading Govt. Hospitals, Medical Colleges & Private Doctors are our customers.
Now. we have developed first time in Asia Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator (rTMS). The researching team endeavours to enhance the quality to give an edge over others. A few of our products are CE certified.
Introduction rTMS
rTranscraniaI magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method to cause depolarization or hyperpolarization in the neurons of the brain.
TMS uses electromagnetic induction to induce weak electric currents using a rapidly changing magnetic field; this can cause activity in specific or general parts of the brain with minimal discomfort, allowing the functioning and interconnections of the brain to be studied.
A variant of TMS„ repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). has been tested as a treatment tool for various neurological and psychiatric disorders including migraines, strokes, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tinnitus, depression and auditory hallucinations.
How does rTMS work?
The rTMS device allows a trained person to use an electromagnet to non-invasively stimulate the brain of a patient. A rapidly changing magnetic field created by a hand held magnetic coil causes weak electric currents in the brain through electromagnetic induction. By stimulating different areas of the brain, it is possible to elicit a therapeutic response in different diseases states. rTMS can currently target sites in the brain to within a few milli meters and this eliminates the various side effects as would be seen by a non-specific treatment such as Electro Convulsive Therapy (E CT)
Advantages
- Highly effective (based on result of clinical research, rTMS surpasses the
success rates of Pharmacotherapy intervention and ECT) - Few or no side effects (most severe side effect is a mild headache)
- Quick onset of therapeutic effect (typically within 1 week)
- Painless procedure, Non-invasive
- No anaesthesia required
- Outpatient therapy
- Excellent ability to target specific neuron areas
- Effectiveness requires 2 to 3 week treatment
- Ability to provide therapeutic benefit for treatment-resistant individuals.
- Patients do not have to stop taking medication in order to receive eTMS.
- Equivalent effectiveness in treating both patients with Major Depressive Disorder and
those suffering from Bipolar Disorder.
Medstim is a complete line of non-invasive magnetic stimulation systems designed for clinical examinations and research within the areas of Neurology. Rehabilitation, Psychiatry and Physiotherapy developed by highly qualified technocrats having rich experience of 35 years in Biomedical Instruments Provides reliability -quality service to the Neuro-Psychiatry Community…..
