Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS therapy) is a simple, non-invasive, non-drug, therapy that does not require downtime. Patients can immediately return to their normal activities of daily living.

A standard course of treatment consists of a total of 36 treatment sessions over a course of six weeks, with the last six rTMS treatment sessions titrated over a three-week period.

It is important to understand that rTMS is not a permanent cure for depression. However, rTMS does offer long-term symptom relief and remission for nearly 70% of patients. Maintenance treatments are recommended in order to maintain optimal benefits.
