Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an innovative, non-invasive treatment approach for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) that utilizes Deep TMS (dTMS) magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions of the brain associated with mood regulation.

Unlike standard courses of TMS, which typically involve one session per day over 6-8 weeks, Accelerated TMS delivers multiple sessions daily, allowing for a complete treatment course in a shorter time frame, generally 3-6 days depending on the condition treated.

The Accelerated Treatments at State Street TMS utilize advanced imaging techniques with the MagVenture Atlas™ Neuro Navigation System; this system delivers personalized, intermittent theta-burst magnetic stimulation (iTBS) precisely targeting brain regions associated with the treated condition. This accelerated method has been designed to provide rapid relief from depressive symptoms.

Clinical studies indicate that Accelerated TMS can lead to rapid improvements in depressive symptoms. For instance, a real-world study reported that various accelerated dTMS protocols achieved response rates of approximately 80% -90% and remission rates of 50%-60%, with significant benefits observed as early as the third day of treatment.

It's important to note that while accelerated dTMS shows promise, it may not be suitable for everyone. Consultation with a healthcare provider specializing in neuromodulation therapies is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific condition.
