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 placed gently against your scalp, delivering rapid magnetic pulses that stimulate specific areas of your brain responsible for regulating mood. 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 of the unique aspects of accelerated TMS is the use of high-frequency stimulation, which is believed to have a more robust and longer-lasting effect on brain activity compared to low-frequency stimulation used in traditional TMS. High-frequency stimulation is typically delivered at a rate of 10 Hz or more, 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, 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 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

While accelerated TMS has proven to be highly effective as a stand-alone treatment, it can also be combined with other therapies, such as medication or psychotherapy, to create a more comprehensive treatment plan. This flexibility allows for personalized approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs and treatment goals, enhancing positive clinical outcomes.

Our 5-Day Accelerated TMS Therapy Process

At Brain Health Center, we believe that your TMS journey is about more than just the treatments themselves. It’s about receiving personalized, compassionate care at every step. Our process is carefully designed to support your unique mental health needs and maximize the effectiveness of your therapy. Here’s what you can expect from our dedicated team:

1. Initial Consultation

During your first visit, our licensed providers will assess your mental health history to determine whether accelerated TMS is the right fit for you. A highly qualified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) will review your medical history and any previous treatments. They may also perform tests to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Our TMS specialists will develop a tailored treatment plan based on your individual needs, ensuring an accelerated TMS protocol that’s optimized for the best possible outcome. Before beginning your TMS treatments, you’ll receive a detailed schedule outlining the frequency, duration, and number of treatment sessions required. We’ll also provide a thorough explanation of the potential benefits and risks and what to expect during your daily sessions.

3. Daily Sessions

Over the course of five consecutive days, you’ll undergo 10 short accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions, each lasting approximately 10 minutes. During the sessions, you’ll be comfortably seated while the magnetic pulses are administered. You may hear a slight clicking sound from the TMS device and feel a mild tapping sensation on your scalp. Rest assured, the procedure is painless.

4. Progress Monitoring

Throughout the week, our rapid TMS treatment experts will assess your progress to ensure the effectiveness of your therapy plan. This may involve check-ins with your specialist or PMHNP to discuss symptoms and overall well-being. We’ll make any necessary adjustments based on your feedback and treatment response to maximize results.

5. Post-Treatment Follow-up

Our commitment to your mental health doesn’t end after your 5-day accelerated TMS treatment plan. We provide ongoing support and post-therapy care to ensure lasting relief from depression. Our compassionate TMS coordinators and specialists are always available to answer any follow-up questions you may have.

We understand that seeking treatment for depression can be a challenging and emotional journey. That’s why we’re committed to providing a supportive, compassionate, and patient-focused environment at every stage of your accelerated TMS therapy process. From your initial consultation to post-treatment follow-up, our team of experts is dedicated to helping you achieve lasting relief from depression and improve your overall quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Brain Health Center, we’re committed to elevating your mental wellness through our innovative, affordable, and accelerated TMS therapy. We understand that exploring new treatment options can feel overwhelming, so we’ve compiled answers to common questions about our 5-day TMS program. Whether you’re exploring therapy options for yourself or a loved one, we hope these answers provide clarity and insight into how accelerated TMS can support your journal to better mental health.

What is accelerated TMS therapy?

Our 5-day accelerated TMS therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain. Unlike traditional TMS, which takes weeks or months, our accelerated treatments deliver multiple short sessions of about 10 minutes each over just 5 days. This FDA-approved treatment offers a faster path to better mental health, all at a fraction of the cost of other providers.

Who can benefit from accelerated TMS therapy?

We welcome individuals struggling with major depression, especially those who haven’t found success with medications or traditional therapies. Our treatment has also shown promising results for conditions like anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. Some studies even indicate positive clinical response outcomes for patients with motor dysfunction due to Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or stroke.

What makes a good accelerated TMS candidate?

You might be an ideal candidate for our affordable, effective TMS treatment if:

Your symptoms are interfering with daily life: If sadness, anxiety, or irritability are holding you back, our TMS therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking.
You’re looking for a non-invasive, drug-free option: Our FDA-approved procedure offers minimal downtime and is particularly beneficial if other treatments have been ineffective or resulted in adverse events or side effects.
You’re ready for a personalized approach: Our provider (PMHNP) meets with each patient to customize the treatment plan, ensuring you receive compassionate, results-driven care.

Age and certain medical conditions may impact eligibility, but don’t let that discourage you. We’re committed to finding the right path forward for each individual and encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to discuss your specific situation with our experienced team.

Is TMS therapy painful?

No, and our patients’ comfort is our top priority. Some individuals may feel a gentle tapping sensation during treatment, but it’s well-tolerated. Mild scalp discomfort or headaches can occur, but these are typically temporary and resolve quickly.

Are there side effects of accelerated TMS?

Side effects from our accelerated TMS are minimal. Unlike medications, there are no systemic side effects such as inflammation, nausea, or weight gain. Some patients may experience mild headaches or temporary scalp discomfort, but these usually resolve quickly without intervention.

How long does it take to see results from TMS?

Timescales vary because accelerated TMS protocols are customized based on individual circumstances. Some patients notice improvements after just a few days, while others may take a few weeks to feel the full benefits. Attending all scheduled sessions is recommended for optimal outcomes.

How long do the effects of TMS last?

The duration of TMS effects can vary based on individual factors and depression severity. Many patients experience ongoing clinical improvement after just one course of our treatment. For those who need additional support, we offer follow-up treatments to help maintain your progress.

Can TMS be used in conjunction with other treatments?

Absolutely. Our accelerated TMS can complement other treatments like medication, psychotherapy, or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). As a non-invasive treatment with fewer side effects, TMS often enhances the effectiveness of traditional therapies, especially for those who haven’t responded well to other options.

How much does accelerated TMS cost?

At Brain Health Center, we believe in making mental health care accessible. Our 5-day program is priced at just under $5,000, which is significantly more affordable than other facilities, where prices typically range from $20,000 to $35,000. We’re committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective mental health therapy without compromise.

Is accelerated TMS covered by insurance?

Many major insurance providers cover accelerated TMS for depression through in-network medical providers. However, you may need to cover your deductible before your insurance kicks in. After that, it’s likely you’ll only need to cover your copay and any additional costs not covered by your policy. Our team is here to help you navigate insurance questions and find the most affordable path to your mental wellness.

What is the difference between TMS and rTMS?

Both TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) use magnetic fields to treat depression, but there are key differences:

Our deep TMS coil stimulates wider areas of the brain compared to standard rTMS, potentially offering more comprehensive treatment.
While standard TMS therapy only stimulates the brain during sessions, our repetitive TMS can induce changes in brain activity that last beyond the initial stimulation period, providing longer-lasting benefits.
We use the most advanced TMS technology, developed through Stanford research, to ensure you receive the best possible care and outcomes.

What questions should I ask before starting accelerated TMS treatment?

We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Here are some important questions to consider before starting your 5-day TMS journey with us:

How experienced is the Brain Health Center team in administering TMS treatment?
How many patients with similar conditions have you successfully treated?
How does your accelerated TMS compare to other depression treatments I’ve tried?
What can I expect during each session of the 5-day program?
What are the potential side effects, and how likely am I to experience them?
Are there any restrictions on my daily activities or current medication regime during treatment?
What are the expected outcomes for my specific condition?
How will my progress be monitored throughout the 5-day program and beyond?
Will I need follow-up treatments after the initial 5-day program?
What other options do you offer if TMS therapy isn’t effective for me?

Remember, our team is here to provide compassionate, results-driven care. We welcome all your questions and are committed to ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout your treatment journey.
