2 in 3 patients who have had more than 20 TMS sessions have a response to TMS treatment
Our treatment outcomes are in line with the naturalistic studies with 2 in 3 patients who have had more than 20 sessions having a response to TMS treatment
Naturalistic studies (treatment where patients know they are having treatment) have the highest outcomes as they represent real world outcomes of TMS. A well-known naturalistic study demonstrates that “TMS is an effective treatment for those unable to benefit from initial antidepressant medication” and details a 58% response rate (~3 in 5 people have a reduction in symptoms) and a 37.1% remission, meaning 2 in 5 patients were no longer depressed after treatment (Carpenter 2012).
