How Accelerated TMS Works
Accelerated TMS therapy is a groundbreaking approach to treating depression, anxiety, and depressive symptoms associated with conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During a TMS session, a small electromagnetic coil is gently placed against your scalp, targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — the area of the brain responsible for regulating mood and emotional responses.
This non-invasive treatment helps “wake up” underactive regions, promoting more balanced brain activity and reducing depressive symptoms. By addressing the neurological basis of these mental health conditions, accelerated TMS treatment offers a path to faster relief. One unique aspect of accelerated TMS is the use of high-frequency stimulation, which is believed to produce a more robust, longer-lasting effect on brain activity than low-frequency stimulation in traditional TMS.
High-frequency stimulation is typically delivered at 10 Hz or higher meaning the magnetic pulses are repeated 10 or more times per second during each session. Throughout your TMS journey, our compassionate team of experts will be by your side, providing support and guidance every step of the way.
Benefits and Effectiveness of Accelerated TMS
Reduced Treatment Time
One of the most significant benefits of rapid TMS is the reduced treatment time. Unlike traditional TMS, which typically involves several weeks or months of treatment sessions, our accelerated TMS allows patients to complete their entire treatment course in just 5 days.
This condensed schedule allows you to experience symptom relief faster and eliminates the hassle of making multiple trips to our treatment facility over an extended period.
Non-invasive and Drug-free
Accelerated TMS is a noninvasive, drug-free alternative to traditional depression treatments. The therapy does not require surgery, anesthesia, or medication, making it an appealing option if you prefer to avoid the potential side effects and risks associated with these interventions.
You’ll remain fully awake and alert throughout your daily sessions, and no recovery time is needed—even after deep brain stimulation. This means you can return to your normal activities immediately after each treatment without any additional downtime.
For individuals with treatment-resistant depression or suicidal ideation, the non-invasive nature of accelerated TMS offers a new approach to managing symptoms without the need for more invasive procedures or the introduction of additional medications.
Higher Success Rates
Research has demonstrated that TMS therapy can be highly effective in treating depression, particularly for individuals who have not responded well to antidepressant medication or other treatments.
Studies have shown that TMS can achieve higher response and remission rates compared to many other depression treatments. Therefore, accelerated TMS should be considered a viable first-line treatment option for those seeking safe, effective, and drug-free relief from depression symptoms.
Lower Dropout Rates
With the condensed nature of accelerated TMS, we’ve found patients are more likely to commit to and complete their full course of treatment. This is particularly beneficial for those with major depressive disorder (MDD) who may struggle with motivation to attend therapy sessions for weeks on end.
Fewer Side Effects
Accelerated TMS is generally well tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild, temporary side effects, such as headaches or scalp discomfort. These side effects typically resolve on their own without the need for additional treatment. In contrast, many traditional, medication-based treatments can cause significant side effects like weight gain, nausea, and fatigue.
Therapy Can be a Standalone or Complementary Treatment
