OVERVIEW A typical treatment course 5 Treatments / week 6-9 Weeks 18-45 Minutes per typical treatment session 30-36 Sessions THE PROCESS Therapy tailored specifically for you 3. FIRST APPOINTMENT A treatment specialized for you Because it is important to determine how to most effectively administer your individual treatment, your first session may last up to an hour and a half. During this appointment, we’ll identify the correct magnet strength and coil position for you. HOW DO WE DETERMINE THE STRENGTH OF THE MAGNET? We start with a test to identify your motor threshold, which is the amount of magnetic field strength resulting in a movement of the patient’s right thumb. This test identifies the magnetic field strength that will be used during your treatment, which is customized to deliver the correct treatment dose. 60-90 Minutes Earplugs provided You can bring non-metallic headphones to listen to music 4. TMS TREATMENT Let’s go through a typical session During treatment, you’ll relax in a treatment chair and remain awake and alert while the TMS therapy device delivers magnetic pulses to the specific areas of your brain known to regulate mood. A treatment session lasts for 18-20 minutes, and takes place in our centers within private individual treatment rooms. We have comprehensive COVID-19 safety measures in place. WHAT DO THESE PULSES FEEL LIKE? They feel like tapping on your scalp. Most of our patients say that the pulses take some getting used to, but they aren’t usually painful. If you’re feeling discomfort, let us know and we’ll make adjustments. 18-45 Minutes Take time for yourself Read, play on your phone, watch TV, meditate.
