The amount of current required for magnetic stimulation is much higher and not compatible with implantable devices. TMS requires large coils and currents relative to electrical stimulation.

Isn't TMS coil current high to compensate the distance? The closer to the nerve ending should reduce the necessary current.

But if those nerve endings are anywhere but at the surface of the body, they'll still require an implant.
