Accelerated One-Day TMS


 

— Why Choose Accelerated One-Day TMS —

If you've been struggling with depression and are searching for a faster treatment option, our Accelerated One-Day TMS Protocol may provide a new path forward.

This treatment protocol delivers Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (iTBS) sessions over a single day to promote symptom improvement by accelerating neuroplasticity.

Unlike traditional TMS schedules that require daily visits over several weeks, this innovative protocol condenses treatment into one comprehensive treatment day.

Why Patients Choose Accelerated ONE-DAY TMS

1

Convenience

Complete your treatment in a single day instead of attending appointments for several weeks.

3

Non-Invasive

No surgery, anesthesia, sedation, or recovery time is required.

2

Advanced Neuroplasticity-Based Approach

The protocol is designed around emerging research exploring accelerated stimulation schedules and enhanced brain plasticity.

4

Return to Daily Activities

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment.

Are You a Candidate?

Accelerated One-Day TMS may be an option for a wide range of individuals living with depression.

Whether you've tried medications, therapy, both, or neither, the best way to determine if this treatment is right for you is through a comprehensive clinical evaluation.

Our team will review your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether Accelerated One-Day TMS is an appropriate option for your individual needs.

What Is Accelerated One-Day TMS?

Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is an advanced form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

Our Accelerated One-Day Protocol focuses exclusively on the:

Same location as typical TMS treatment. (Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex) (LDPFC)

This brain region plays a critical role in emotional processing, decision-making, and mood regulation.

The goal of treatment is to encourage healthy neural activity and strengthen pathways associated with improved mood and emotional resilience.

What Does Treatment Feel Like?

Most patients describe treatment as a tapping sensation on the scalp during stimulation. The protocol is generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported side effects include:

  • Mild scalp tenderness
  • Temporary localized sensitivity
  • Mild tension headaches

These effects are typically short-lived and resolve without intervention.

When Will I Notice Results?

Response times vary from person to person.

Some patients report early improvements shortly after treatment. However, brain stimulation works by encouraging gradual neuroplastic changes that continue after the treatment day is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this One-Day Protocol FDA-approved?

No. This Accelerated One-Day TMS Protocol is considered an off-label treatment approach and is not currently FDA-approved.

Is the Magstim device FDA-Cleared?

Yes. The Magstim TMS device is FDA-cleared for the 36-day treatment protocol for ages 15 and above with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not experienced satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medications. Eligibility is determined on an individual basis by our clinical team.

Is insurance accepted?

No. TMS treatment is offered on a self-pay basis. Both the Initial consultation and post treatment follow-ups are eligible for insurance billing.

Is this FSA or HSA Eligible?

Yes. In most cases, TMS therapy is eligible for payment using Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds, provided the treatment is considered medically necessary and qualifies under your plan.

Because every plan is different, we recommend checking with your HSA/FSA administrator or contacting our team. We're happy to help answer questions about payment options and provide any documentation you may need.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients tolerate treatment very well. Some experience mild scalp discomfort or temporary headaches during or after treatment.

How long does the treatment day last?

The complete protocol typically spans approximately 10 hours, including rest periods between treatment sessions.

Do I need to take time off work afterward?

Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

If I have anxious depression, am I a candidate?

Possibly. Many people experience depression along with significant anxiety, sometimes referred to as anxious depression. During your consultation, our clinical team will review your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether the One-Day TMS Protocol may be an appropriate option for you.

I haven't tried therapy or counseling. Am I a candidate?

Potentially. Every patient's situation is unique. While many people have tried therapy, counseling, or other treatments before exploring TMS, prior counseling is not always required. Your provider will evaluate your history and discuss whether the One-Day TMS Protocol is appropriate based on your individual needs.

If I have mild or moderate depression, am I a candidate?

Possibly. The severity of depression is just one factor in determining whether TMS is appropriate. During your consultation, your provider will assess your symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments to determine if the One-Day TMS Protocol is the right fit for you.

What if I need an extra day due to a medical issue?

While the One-Day TMS Protocol is designed to be completed in a single day, patient safety is always our highest priority. If a medical concern or unexpected circumstance requires treatment to be adjusted, our clinical team will work with you to determine the safest and most appropriate plan, which may include completing treatment over an additional day if medically necessary.

I don't take medication. Am I a candidate?

Possibly. While many patients who pursue TMS have previously taken antidepressant medications, not everyone does. During your consultation, our providers will review your medical history, symptoms, and prior treatments to determine whether the One-Day TMS Protocol is an appropriate treatment option for you.
