aTMS THERAPY

The current standard TMS treatment for depression requires daily treatments for six consecutive weeks, followed by a 6-session taper, for a total of 36 treatments spaced out over 9 weeks. aTMS offers a full course of TMS in only 5 days. Treatments last 10 minutes and are performed hourly, with 10 treatments being administered daily for a total of 50 treatments over the course of the week.

The results of this treatment program exceed even the impressive results achieved in standard TMS. The Stanford theta burst treatment Study results, published in October 2021 showed that nearly 80 percent of study participants achieved remission of their depression, and individuals began to experience clinical improvement within an average of 2.3 days. Plus, the intensive 5-day treatment makes it possible for those without a TMS center near them to travel to our location and finally find relief from severe depression. We do provide assistance for individuals looking to stay near the clinic during their course of treatment. The village of Marcellus, where the clinic is located, provides a safe and pleasant walking village, including a beautiful town park, that is easily accessible between treatments should individuals want to venture out of the clinic during the day between treatments. 

If you are one of the millions of individuals who have not benefited from standard antidepressant therapy, or who struggle with the side effects of medication treatment for depression, TMS therapy offers a safe and effective alternative. This is now a standard treatment for depression that first achieved FDA approval in 2008. aTMS has thus far been shown to be as safe as standard TMS therapy
