Mild to moderate scalp irritation and mild headache effect nearly one half of all patients and usually goes away after the first week of treatment. If symptoms do persist after the first two weeks, over-the-counter analgesic may be taken. If symptoms still persist, the TMS physician can reduce the strength of the magnetic field pulses being administered to make treatment more comfortable.
I also took an over-the-counter analgesic and asked my TMS coordinator to adjust the coil position slightly to make me more comfortable. This helped quite a bit.
