TMS treatment does not require anesthesia or sedatives, so patients are awake and alert the whole time. The patient will sit in a comfortable chair while the magnetic coil is placed properly on their head. Once the machine is turned on, it will create magnetic pulses that feel like taps. A TMS machine’s energy has a similar level of strength to an MRI. The typical recommended course of treatment for TMS therapy at CBH involves thirty-six, half-hour sessions over approximately seven weeks. However, patients may experience relief from some of their symptoms within just a few weeks of starting treatment.
