Singer Fedez used this method to treat depression, but it also targets gambling addiction. The activity of the brain, which in addition to controlling body movements, also regulates desires and behavior, is electrical. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a useful method in various therapeutic areas, affects the electrical activity of the cerebral cortex. This treatment consists, in fact, in the transmission of magnetic energy, which passes through the tissues of the central nervous system, contributing to the restoration of its functionality.

In rTMS, the pulses are delivered through a kind of “8” shaped coil that is placed on the head. Depending on the disorder it is treating, the stimulation can be either excitatory or inhibitory to increase or decrease the activity of certain areas of the cerebral cortex.
