Patients who have failed to respond to antidepressants or psychotherapy are the ideal candidates for TMS. People who are not a good fit for TMS are those with metallic implants in ears or eyes, stents in the neck or brain, and other metal devices implanted in or near the head should refrain from undergoing TMS therapy.
Yes. TMS is an FDA-cleared treatment, which means it’s safe to administer to patients. It’s also non-invasive.
TMS therapy is a well-tolerated treatment for most patients, although it does not work for everyone. Side effects, while infrequent, can include headaches and neck pain.
A typical TMS session lasts approximately 20 minutes. The sessions continue for 5 days/week over a duration of 4-6 weeks. Occasionally, a two-week tapering period may follow consisting of just a few sessions a week.
Yes, a person can have additional courses of TMS. In fact, patients who respond well to TMS initially, are more likely to continue to respond positively to TMS if needed again in the future.
To date, there is no evidence that TMS causes any kind of long-term damage to the brain. TMS does carry a very minor risk or seizure during treatment, specifically less than 0.1%. This risk seems to be more associated with those who are already at risk of seizure, whether due to a medication, a chronic condition such as epilepsy, or secondary to drug and alcohol use.
Yes, unlike Electroconvlusive Therapy (ECT), you can continue to drive your car after TMS treatments.
No. While TMS is safe and has minimal side effects, ECT requires general anesthesia which can carry some risk.
