What is Accelerated TMS Therapy?
Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (aTMS) is an advanced treatment for depression that significantly reduces the duration of treatment compared to standard TMS. While traditional TMS protocols span over 6 weeks, aTMS condenses this period to just 3 to 5 days, making it more accessible and convenient for patients.
HOW IT DIFFERS FROM STANDARD TMS THERAPY
aTMS stands out by offering multiple sessions each day, drastically reducing the treatment period compared to the traditional approach of one session per day over 6 weeks (or 36 sessions total). With aTMS, patients undergo 10 treatments daily over 5 days, completing a total of 50 treatments in a week.

Our Approach to Accelerated TMS
INNOVATIVE TREATMENT MODELED AFTER THE SAINTTM PROTOCOL:Our accelerated TMS treatment, modeled on the SAINTTM Protocol, offers an effective and streamlined approach to depression care, making advanced treatments more accessible.
Our accelerated treatment is modeled on the SAINTTM protocol, developed by Stanford University. The SAINTTM Protocol showed a 90.5% remission rate in the open-label trial (1) and a 79% remission rate in the double-blind control trial (2).
By significantly shortening the treatment timeline, accelerated TMS provides a more efficient and patient-friendly option for achieving depression relief.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ACCELERATED TMS:
This method avoids the side effects of antidepressants, such as weight gain, loss of sex drive, fatigue, and brain fog. TMS stimulates nerve cells in neural circuits responsible for depression symptoms, promoting healing in brain networks, supporting healthy emotion regulation, and encouraging the growth of new brain cell connections.
- Treatment Schedule: Receive multiple TMS sessions per day over a 3 to 5-day period.
- Post-Treatment: Return to your daily activities immediately after each session, with minimal to no side effects.
