Florida Center for TMS
What to Expect
What to expect…
An initial consultation will be scheduled to discuss what is troubling you and whether TMS is an appropriate treatment option. At that time, you and your doctor will review your symptoms, treatment history, and decide the best possible treatment plan.
If TMS is the right treatment for you, treatment sessions can be scheduled to begin as soon as possible. The first treatment appointment will involve a mapping, which will determine the optimal placement and strength of the magnetic field. Each subsequent treatment will last 19 minutes, during which you will be awake and alert. The magnetic pulses make a loud clicking sound and feel like a tapping on the scalp but typically do not result in any discomfort. If you wish, you can watch television or listen to music during the TMS session, but we will ask you to remain awake and stay off your phone.
After the treatment you can drive and resume your normal activity. TMS is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgery, anesthesia, and has no systemic effects such as sedation, weight gain, or sexual side effects which are often found with medications.
A usual course of treatment for depression involves sessions 5 days a week for approximately 6 weeks. As you progress through your treatment, we will regularly assess your progress.
