Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital in Faridabad has opened what it says is Delhi NCR’s first dedicated Advanced Brain Stimulation Centre, offering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and other non-invasive neuromodulation therapies.

Yatharth described the centre as an outpatient facility for patients who have not responded to medication or who experience side effects from long-term drug use. The hospital lists clinical uses including stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive–compulsive disorder, chronic pain and migraine.

TMS is a non-invasive method that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the cerebral cortex. The hospital said treatments do not require anesthesia or surgery and carry a low side-effect profile compared with invasive procedures.

“The newly launched Brain Stimulation Centre is the first of its kind in Delhi NCR,” said Dr Kunal Bahrani, chairman and group director — Neurology at Yatharth. “Patients can undergo therapy in an outpatient setting, with minimal side effects and quicker recovery times compared to traditional treatment methods.”

Amit Singh, group CEO of Yatharth Group of Hospitals, said the centre aims to reduce long-term medication dependency and deliver personalised treatment plans through a team of specialists. The hospital highlighted pre-treatment clinical assessments and coordination between neurology and psychiatry as part of its care pathway.

The launch signals increased availability of non-invasive neuromodulation services in India's urban hospital market, according to the hospital. Yatharth did not publish numbers on expected patient volumes, referral sources, or the specific models of stimulation devices installed.
