TMS Standard Protocol
Safe. Effective. Clinically Proven.
Our Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) Standard Protocol is designed to deliver symptom relief and long-term stabilization for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD and other mood disorders. It is ideal for individuals who may not tolerate an accelerated protocol due to age, chronic pain or fatigue. In addition, some clients prefer to receive their TMS treatments over several weeks in the morning or afternoon based on their current appointment/work schedules.
Who is the Standard Protocol for?
Our Standard Protocol is ideal for individuals who prefer to attend the clinic regularly for shorter periods of time over an extended period. This may be suitable for individuals who find new environments overstimulating or who find it a struggle to attend the clinic in the morning. In this protocol, most clients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms in week 3 after receiving 20 acute treatment sessions.
