Advantages of TMS

Backed by Science

We only apply protocols that have shown clinical efficacy. Patients treated with Apollo TMS Therapy experienced a 81% Response Rate and a 52% Remission Rate.

Safe

Scientifically proven and FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression, TMS Therapy has little or no side effects. Some patients report headaches, drowsiness, and a tingling sensation on the scalp and face. These are short-term and tend to go away soon after treatment. TMS therapy focuses on the areas of the brain that control mood. Unlike Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), there have been no reported negative effects on thinking and memory or any other normal brain functions.

Not Disruptive

During TMS therapy, there's no need for sedation or anesthesia. Patients remain awake and alert throughout the brief 19-minute treatment sessions, allowing them to resume their daily activities immediately afterward. The entire course of treatment typically lasts only six weeks, providing a more concise treatment option compared to ongoing therapy appointments throughout the year.

Medication-free

TMS is completely free of the side effects commonly associated with medications, such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, fatigue, or cognitive impairments.

Natural

Apollo TMS Therapy uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate the brain’s natural processes, helping repair "depressed" neurons and improve brain circuitry.

Catalyst

The brain is constantly adapting. When combined with our Neuroplasticity Therapy, TMS enhances the brain’s ability to replace negative thought patterns and behaviors with life-enriching ones.

TMS treatment is ideal for most patients with treatment-resistant depression. TMS is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have a history of seizures, or have any metal objects in their heads. Patients with pacemakers should first consult their cardiologist.
