Life Change Associates is excited to be able to provide a safe, well-tolerated and effective non-medication therapy. This therapy is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS. The FDA approved this non-invasive treatment in 2008. The FDA recommends it for those with treatment resistant major depression. It is available for those who have failed to respond to medication therapy. It is also offered to people who have not tolerated medication therapy due to side effects. Most insurance companies cover TMS and needs to include a medical screening. This screening helps determine if it is an appropriate treatment option.

Does TMS Help Depression?

TMS works by using a magnetic device to stimulate areas of the brain. These areas are known to be involved in major depression. Stimulation of specific areas of the brain resulting from a TMS treatment needs to repeat 5 days a week . This is typically over the course of 6 weeks. Some studies show that 70% of patients will show a clinical response to TMS. Around 45% can experience a remission of depression symptoms. Of those that respond 60% remain well after 1 year. Dr. Ravsten uses the Magventure MagPro machine to administer TMS. A typical treatment session lasts 20 minutes. However, depending on your clinical case and insurance coverage it is possible to reduce treatment time to 3 minutes!

There is a screening process to complete in order to help Dr. Ravsten determine if TMS is right for you. You can start this process by clicking on the TMS Screening Form button below to begin the process. Once you submit the screen form one of our care coordinators will contact you. They will arrange an initial visit in our office to learn more about whether TMS is right for you.
