TMS is generally well tolerated. Patients may feel a light tapping sensation on the scalp during treatment, but it is not considered painful. No anesthesia or sedation is required.
A typical session lasts as short as 3 min with Theta(iTBS) therapy and up to 20mins (18.5 mins) for standard therapy on avg. You can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to your day right after.
A standard treatment course usually involves sessions five days a week for several weeks. Your personalized treatment plan will be determined during your consultation.
