TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in areas of the brain that control mood. The magnetic pulses are similar to those used in MRI machines. TMS is FDA-cleared for treating major depression, especially in patients who haven't responded well to antidepressants.
Yes, most major insurance plans cover TMS therapy, including Medicare, BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and many others. Our team will work directly with your insurance provider to obtain pre-authorization and verify your coverage before starting treatment.
Each TMS session typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Most patients undergo treatment 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks. You remain awake and alert during the entire session, and can return to your normal activities immediately afterward no downtime required.
TMS is generally well-tolerated. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the session, such as a tapping sensation on the scalp. The most common side effect is a mild headache or scalp discomfort, which typically improves after the first few sessions. Unlike medications, TMS has no systemic side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or drowsiness.
TMS therapy is ideal for adults with major depressive disorder who haven't achieved satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medications. It's particularly beneficial for those experiencing treatment-resistant depression. During your consultation, Dr. Crawford will evaluate your medical history and symptoms to determine if TMS is right for you.
Many patients begin to notice improvements in their mood and symptoms within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. However, the full benefits of TMS therapy are typically seen after completing the full course of treatment (4-6 weeks). Some patients experience lasting relief for months or even years after completing TMS.
