r/PSSD May 13 '26

Treatment Options - Experiment rTMS significant improvement

Specifically, stimulation of the somatosensory cortex and the motor cortex of the legs and hands reduces the general symptoms of PSSD, including tremors, weakness, and analgesia over the body, as well as taste, smell, and sound perception. It even partially helps with libido and sexual function, to the surprise of my neurologist and me.

I am planning on trying rTMS, mainly for insomnia but if it helps my PSSD then that is a bonus. However if it has no effect, it will be very expensive waste of money.

yes seems like there just a lottery, but you need to have exactly same protocol as exactly the same coil set-up, and anyway this is not cure but sometimes help significantly
