TMS is short for transcranial magnetic stimulation. rTMS, which is a newer form of TMS, stands for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. rTMS improves on TMS by allowing for multiple magnetic pulses per second. The word transcranial simply refers to the fact that the magnetic field passes noninvasively through the head and no surgery is required.
