According to a 2025 individual participant data analysis published in eClinicalMedicine (The Lancet), intranasal esketamine does not appear to be more effective than TMS for treatment-resistant depression; TMS was found to be similarly effective, or potentially even superior, to Spravato across key outcomes. That is a striking finding, especially for patients who assume a medication-based […]
According to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Affective Disorders (Rakesh et al., August 2024), According to a naturalistic study published in PLOS ONE (PubMed, 2022), both TMS and intramuscular ketamine produced equally significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms in treatment-resistant patients, with no statistically meaningful difference in response or […]
According to a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Affective Disorders (Rakesh et al., August 2024), active TMS combined with antidepressant medication produced significantly greater improvement in major depressive disorder than sham TMS combined with the same medications, with a large effect size that held across multiple trials. That finding points to […]
Depression does not always respond to the treatments most people try first. For millions of adults, antidepressants help only partially – or not at all. That gap between what medication can offer and what patients actually need has pushed mental health care toward a different kind of solution: NeuroStar TMS, a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment […]
According to a randomized controlled trial published in ScienceDirect (2025), accelerated TMS demonstrated a clinically meaningful advantage over standard TMS in speed of symptom resolution, with both protocols achieving comparable final outcomes but aTMS getting there significantly faster. For someone in the middle of a depressive episode, that speed difference is not a minor convenience. […]
Theta burst stimulation is changing what mental health treatment looks like – not by being louder or more aggressive, but by being smarter and faster. For people managing depression, anxiety, OCD, or PTSD, knowing how this technology works can be the difference between seeking help and staying stuck. This article breaks down what TBS is, […]
According to the U.S. study tracking 307 patients treated in routine clinical settings, 62% of TMS responders still met response criteria at six months, while 45% maintained meaningful improvement at the one-year mark. That gap between six months and one year tells a story worth paying attention to. TMS works. The neurological changes it produces […]
TMS therapy for PTSD can provide meaningful, lasting relief for many trauma survivors – especially those who haven’t responded well to medication or talk therapy. Research shows that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation targets the brain circuits disrupted by trauma, helping reduce flashbacks, hyperarousal, and emotional numbness. While results vary, clinical studies suggest improvements can persist […]
According to a 2024 open-label case series published in Brain Stimulation (ScienceDirect, Q4 2024), 32 patients with treatment-resistant depression who completed a single-day TMS regimen showed a 90% response rate at six weeks across multiple validated depression and anxiety scales. That finding raises an obvious question for anyone who has been putting off TMS therapy: […]
If you or someone you love has been struggling with depression, OCD, or anxiety, you may have come across transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment option. But here’s something many people don’t realize at first: TMS is not a single, one-size-fits-all therapy. The way TMS is delivered – the frequency, intensity, duration, and even […]
