Initial Evaluation: Before beginning TMS treatment, patients undergo a thorough assessment by our experienced physician. Such an evaluation may include a medical history review, neurological examination, and imaging studies to assess brain structure and function.
Treatment Planning: Based on the evaluation’s results, the physician develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to the person’s needs and goals. This plan may include the selection of specific brain targets for stimulation and the frequency and duration of treatment sessions.
TMS Sessions: During TMS therapy sessions, the patient sits comfortably in a chair while a specialized Magventure TMS device delivers magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. Depending on the treatment protocol prescribed, the duration of each session may vary.
Monitoring and Adjustment: Throughout the treatment period, the physician closely monitors the patient's progress and may adjust the treatment plan as needed. This may involve modifying the location or intensity of stimulation, or changing the frequency of treatment sessions to optimize outcomes.
Follow-up Care: After completing a course of TMS therapy, patients typically receive follow-up care to assess their response to treatment and address any ongoing concerns or needs. This may include additional sessions of TMS therapy, as well as supportive services like counseling or rehabilitation.
