Several subjects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation clinical trials have found their reported symptoms were omitted from their medical records, if their medical records were made available, or not destroyed. This petition will help future patients seeking information about the safety of these medical procedures. How many former TMS patients seek medical attention for long-term TBI symptoms that immediately started during an active TMS treatment is a metric potential TMS patients will find useful for informed consent.

This declaration is worded as simply as possible so that it applies to as many injured patients as possible. This is also broadly worded so that it very easily applies to injured patients which hopefully makes them feel more comfortable signing. A separate petition should be made for injured patients without medical records, more mild injuries should also be documented. 

There are only three requirements to sign this petition:

1. Experienced TBI symptoms that started during TMS treatments.

2. Persistent TBI symptoms lasting for at least 6 months.

3. Any mention of any TBI symptoms on any medical records.
