There are many advantages to TMS therapy as a treatment option for depression without any other significant diagnoses. A few advantages of TMS with StimGuide include:

• rTMS reports a patient remission of depressive symptoms of 70%.
• iTBS (SNT Protocol) and ONE-D (developed by AMPA) report a greater than 90% rate of remission of depressive symptoms.

 

TMS bypasses common side effects of antidepressants such as:

• Insomnia
• GI upset
• Weight gain
• Sexual dysfunction
• Foggy thoughts, concentration problems

 

TMS avoids the unpleasant side effects of ECT therapy such as:

• Neck and body aches, muscle spasms
• Memory loss
• Cognitive Deficits, confusion, or psychosis

 

You can achieve long term relief in as little as five days without the shock or induction of a seizure like with ECT.
