Who uses TMS off-label?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is used off-label by various groups for different purposes:

1. Executives: Jamie Wheal mentions that many executives use TMS off-label to enhance cognitive function. This use involves pulsing magnetic activity to improve brain efficiency and efficacy 1.

2. Sexual Responsiveness: Nicole Prause discusses off-label use of TMS for altering sexual responsiveness. Although it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, physicians can prescribe it off-label if deemed potentially useful 2.

3. Researchers: Researchers, including those at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), use TMS for activities like target acquisition with snipers and archers, to induce flow states and accelerate learning 1.

These applications highlight the versatility and potential of TMS beyond its primary FDA-approved use for treating depression.
