TMS Therapy & Treatment Efficacy & Safety

An Effective and Durable Option

For Treating Depression

TMS Safety

Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety of TMS Therapy in treating patients who have had an inadequate response to prior antidepressant medications1.

Treatment with TMS Therapy caused very few side effects and was generally well tolerated by patients. The most common side effect reported during clinical trials was scalp discomfort—generally mild to moderate and occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.

None of our patients discontinued treatment with TMS Therapy due to adverse events.

Over 10,000 active treatments were performed across all clinical trials demonstrating its safety2
