The Brain Stimulation Service at the MUSC Health Institute of Psychiatry offers procedures to help patients with treatment-resistant mood disorders. In many patients, traditional drug or talk therapy treatments have not been effective in relieving major depression.
MUSC Health has been at the forefront of brain stimulation therapy, including the first published use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for depression (1995), the first Vagus nerve implant for depression (1998), an Epidural prefrontal cortical stimulation (EpCS) performed in 2008, and the first Focal Electrically-administered Seizure Therapy (FEAST) done outside of New York (2010).
