TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
tms-(transcranial-magnetic-stimulation)-at-urgent-clinic-seoulNon-Invasive Brain Stimulation for Neurological Recovery, Mental Wellness & Anti-Aging — Led by Dr. Lee Eui-seon in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul
What Is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?
what-is-tms-(transcranial-magnetic-stimulation)Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, drug-free medical treatment that uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. By delivering controlled electromagnetic stimulation to specific areas of the brain, TMS activates neural pathways, supports neurological recovery, and promotes mental and cognitive wellness — all without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
At Urgent Clinic in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, TMS is offered as both a standalone neurological wellness treatment and as an integral component of our signature Anti-Aging Triple Therapy and Triple Punch Protocol for Parkinson's disease. Under the direct supervision of Dr. Lee Eui-seon, a board-certified emergency medicine and hyperbaric medicine physician, every TMS session at Urgent Clinic is grounded in clinical precision and patient safety.
Why TMS at Urgent Clinic?
why-tms-at-urgent-clinicPhysician-Led Treatment — Every TMS session is supervised by Dr. Lee Eui-seon, ensuring your neurological stimulation protocol is clinically accurate, safe, and aligned with your individual health goals.
Non-Invasive & Drug-Free — TMS requires no surgery, no medication, and no recovery period. Patients can resume normal daily activities immediately following each session.
Integrated Treatment Programs — At Urgent Clinic, TMS forms the neurological pillar of both our Anti-Aging Triple Therapy and our Triple Punch Protocol for Parkinson's disease — working in synergy with HBOT and IV Infusion Therapy.
Evidence-Based Protocols — Our TMS approach is grounded in peer-reviewed clinical research, including studies published in The Lancet eClinicalMedicine and the Journal of Clinical Medicine, demonstrating significant improvements in motor scores, cognition, mood, and gait.
Personalized Protocols — Each patient receives a tailored TMS stimulation plan based on their specific neurological needs, health history, and wellness objectives — never a generic, one-size-fits-all approach.
Who Can Benefit from TMS?

neurological-recovery-and-cognitive-supportTMS stimulates underactive neural circuits, supporting the brain's natural capacity for repair and regeneration. Patients experiencing cognitive fatigue, reduced mental sharpness, or neurological sluggishness following illness, stress, or medical procedures can benefit significantly from a structured TMS program at Urgent Clinic.
Mood & Mental Wellness
mood-and-mental-wellnessBy activating specific regions of the brain associated with mood regulation, TMS supports emotional balance and overall mental wellness — offering a non-pharmacological pathway to improved psychological resilience.
Anti-Aging Brain Health
anti-aging-brain-healthTMS supports neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form and strengthen new neural connections — helping maintain cognitive sharpness, mental agility, and overall brain vitality as part of a comprehensive anti-aging wellness strategy.
Sports Recovery & Mental Resilience
sports-recovery-and-mental-resilienceHigh-demand lifestyles, chronic stress, and mental exhaustion take a measurable toll on brain function. TMS at Urgent Clinic offers a clinically grounded path to restoring mental clarity and rebuilding cognitive and emotional resilience.
Post-HBOT Neurological Enhancement
post-hbot-neurological-enhancementAt Urgent Clinic, TMS is strategically paired with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as part of both our wellness and Parkinson's programs. Following an HBOT session, the brain's tissues are richly oxygenated — creating an optimal neurological environment in which TMS stimulation produces enhanced and longer-lasting effects.
TMS for Parkinson's Disease
tms-for-parkinson's-diseaseParkinson's disease is not a single condition with a single cause — it is the result of several biological processes breaking down simultaneously: oxidative stress, midbrain hypoxia, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic neuroinflammation. Addressing it effectively requires targeting multiple pathways at once.
At Urgent Clinic, TMS is the neurological cornerstone of our Triple Punch Protocol — a coordinated three-modality program developed by Dr. Lee Eui-seon specifically for Parkinson's patients. In this program, TMS works alongside Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and personalized IV Infusion Therapy to address different layers of the disease simultaneously.
What TMS targets in Parkinson's:
Motor circuit recalibration — The motor cortex and its connections to the basal ganglia become dysregulated in Parkinson's. TMS helps recalibrate this circuitry, improving movement control and reducing motor fluctuations.
Dopamine stimulation — Research shows TMS can trigger dopamine release in the striatum, partially compensating for the loss of dopamine-producing neurons.
Cognitive & mood support — TMS applied to the prefrontal cortex addresses the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's, including cognitive decline, depression, and emotional dysregulation.
BDNF activation — TMS stimulates production of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a key protein that supports the survival and repair of existing neurons.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm meaningful improvements in motor scores (UPDRS-III), gait, balance, cognition, and mood in Parkinson's patients receiving TMS — with the strongest results seen when TMS is combined with complementary treatments, as in Urgent Clinic's Triple Punch Protocol.
Important: Parkinson's disease cannot currently be cured, and no treatment has been proven to permanently halt its progression. Urgent Clinic's program is designed to support and preserve neurological function, working alongside — never replacing — the patient's existing neurological medications and specialist care.
What to Expect During Your TMS Session
what-to-expect-during-your-tms-sessionStep 1 — Consultation with Dr. Lee Eui-seon
step-1-consultation-with-dr.-lee-eui-seonYour treatment begins with a comprehensive one-on-one consultation with Dr. Lee Eui-seon. Your neurological health, cognitive concerns, overall medical history, and wellness goals are carefully reviewed to determine the most appropriate TMS protocol for you.
Step 2 — Personalized TMS Protocol
step-2-personalized-tms-protocolBased on your consultation, Dr. Lee designs a customized TMS stimulation plan — specifying the targeted brain regions, magnetic pulse frequency, session duration, and the recommended course of treatment aligned with your individual needs.
Step 3 — Preparation & Positioning
step-3-preparation-and-positioningOur clinical team positions the TMS device precisely over the target area of your head. No anesthesia or special preparation is required. The process is straightforward and comfortable.
Step 4 — The TMS Session
step-4-the-tms-sessionYou remain seated and fully awake while the TMS device delivers controlled magnetic pulses to the targeted brain regions. Sessions typically last between 20 and 40 minutes. Most patients describe a gentle tapping sensation on the scalp — entirely painless and non-invasive.
Step 5 — Monitoring by Clinical Staff
step-5-monitoring-by-clinical-staffThroughout your session, Urgent Clinic's registered nursing team monitors your comfort and response, ensuring the treatment is delivered safely and effectively at every stage.
Step 6 — Post-Session Review & Follow-Up
step-6-post-session-review-and-follow-upFollowing each session, Dr. Lee Eui-seon or a member of the clinical team reviews your response and advises on any adjustments to your protocol and the recommended frequency of ongoing sessions.
