Accelerated TMS Therapy

Beat depression in FIVE days 

Accelerated TMS Therapy in Denver, CO 

What is Accelerated TMS Therapy? 

Accelerated rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is exactly what the name implies, an accelerated or more rapid TMS therapy that reduces the conventional six weeks needed for standard TMS treatment to as little as one week. Accelerated TMS packages fifty TMS sessions over one to two weeks. Five to ten treatments are administered each day over the course of one to two weeks. For comparison, a standard TMS course of treatment would involve only around thirty-six treatments and take six weeks to complete.


Read more: How does TMS therapy work? →

Therapy Accelerated TMS Standard TMS
No. of sessions 50 sessions 36 sessions
Sessions in one day 5-10 per day 1 per day
Time period 1-2 weeks 6 weeks

In addition, treatments involve ten minutes of a newer type of magnetic stimulation called iTBS (intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation).


Learn more about intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation →


Accelerated TMS Therapy is different from iTBS, but both treatments are used together to reduce the time needed for treatment and to increase the total amount of pulses received.

Accelerated relief from depression

Severe Depression, Anxiety, and other Mood Disorders have never been easy for the medical community to treat quickly, and symptomatic relief or full recovery usually entails long-term medication use in addition to talk therapy.

Medications and/or therapy can take eight weeks or longer to reach full response. Standard TMS treatment can take four to six weeks for full response as well. With Accelerated TMS therapy, however, patients can potentially achieve remission of symptoms in just five days. In addition, similar to standard TMS, this is without the common systemic side effects accompanying medication use or the significant time commitment needed for hour-plus therapy sessions. 

Accelerated TMS therapy potentially provides response in a much shorter time frame. This is a win-win for patients and providers alike. No one wants to wait months to experience relief from severe depression and providers want to help their patients find relief as quickly and successfully as possible.

Do all TMS clinics provide Accelerated TMS Therapy and iTBS?

Not all TMS providers have systems with the capability of providing iTBS nor the cooling capacity required to run Accelerated TMS Therapy. Inspire TMS Denver uses the latest TMS technology and a Magventure system fully capable of delivering both treatments. Magventure was the first TMS device manufacturer to obtain FDA approval for use of iTBS and a Magventure system was used in the groundbreaking study that showed the potential of Accelerated TMS, the SAINT trial.

Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy-SAINT Protocol

Stanford University School of Medicine pioneered Accelerated TMS and recently published its evidence in the American Journal of Psychiatry. ¹

 

Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy utilized Accelerated TMS in a study of depressed patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression (SAINT-TRD). 

What were the key findings? 

The SAINT trial achieved the following: 

a watercolor painting of a brain with a person in the middle

Remarkably, 90% of the participants achieved full remission after the five days of treatment. In addition, 100% of participants experiencing suicidal thoughts at the onset of the study had complete resolution of these thoughts after SAINT.

a watercolor painting of a brain with a person in the middle

These numbers are quite impressive as participants had severe and treatment resistant depression. Many even had a history of non-response to standard TMS treatment and/or ECT(electroconvulsive therapy). Learn more about TMS vs ECT.

a watercolor painting of a brain with a person in the middle

The treatment was safe with no significant adverse events and minimal side effects similar to standard TMS treatments. There were no cognitive problems and many participants actually improved on short-term cognitive testing.

This study was open-label and involved a small number of patients. It also used fMRI (functional MRIs that were patient-specific). Time will tell how important this part of the study was to their results. There have been additional studies on Accelerated TMS, however, (including randomized and controlled trials that are the benchmark for research) that have shown positive results and were similarly safe and well-tolerated. ² They have also shown no statistical difference in remission or response rates between Accelerated TMS and Standard TMS. ³ The follow up study to SAINT - SNT, also utilized randomization with a sham arm and still found very good results with patients reporting response rates of 85% at some point in the five week follow up period.⁴

Accelerated TMS at Inspire TMS Denver

As a patient of Inspire TMS Denver, all TMS treatment options will be discussed with you before embarking on a course of treatment. As Accelerated TMS therapy is so new, it is not currently standard of care or covered under insurance. Breakthrough FDA approval has been granted as of September 2022, but this is only with the use of a functional connectivity MRI. This is costly and proprietary at this time. We have been seeing excellent results for accelerated treatment in our clinic without the use of fcMRI. We use a combination of a measurement system called Beam F3 and heart rate monitoring during treatments to select our target locations. There is some preliminary evidence that heart rate drops slightly during each set of pulses for a significant portion of patients that respond to TMS. We hence look at this to guide target location. Our current response rate at 4 weeks post accelerated treatment hovers around 75% and remission rate hovers around 45%. This is actually higher than that seen at 4 weeks post treatment in the SNT randomized control trial - Response rate: 64.3% and Remission rate: 42.9%.⁴ 


Accelerated TMS Cost

Inspire TMS Denver offers Accelerated TMS as we want to provide the latest treatment options to our patients. Our all inclusive rate for accelerated TMS is $6500 - this includes evaluation, all follow up visits, and 50 sessions the week of treatment. We also offer additional treatments free of charge in the first 6 months post treatment if touch up treatment is needed.

“I had the best experience with Inspire TMS. I spent Monday-Friday with Dr. Clinch and Sydney, completing the accelerated TMS protocol. They are two of the kindest people you will meet - genuinely concerned about my comfort and mental health. I actually missed them once I was finished! Their office is warm and inviting, they put me at ease pretty much immediately. Dr. Clinch wanted me to understand everything he was doing and what was happening throughout the treatment. Sydney provided me with interesting conversation during my many treatments and was very easy-going. One week out, I am experiencing a better mood overall, more motivation, and some hope for the future. Finally! -R.H.

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Book your free telephone consultation with Dr. Clinch and use this time to ask any questions or voice any concerns about TMS. If there are no contraindications to treatment, you are a good candidate, and you wish to proceed with a full evaluation, we will schedule a full intake. You will be sent an invite to our confidential patient portal and forms for review and completion that expedite care.

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Shortly after this, you will be seen in person for the full TMS evaluation. This will provide adequate information for us to then submit prior authorization for TMS coverage to your insurer. If seeking care off-label through self-pay, prior authorization is not needed. We then schedule your first and all subsequent treatment sessions. We obtain prior authorization and inform you of all costs prior to starting care. 

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Come in for your first treatment which starts with a 'mapping' to establish your unique treatment intensity and location. Following this and at all subsequent sessions, you will recline in a motorized chair, similar to a dental visit. You can then relax, listen to music, watch TV, read or chat during the treatment. At the end of your sessions, you can drive and return to your day as normal.

Samuel B. Clinch, M.D

Medical Director

Our shared inspiration is to alleviate mental illness and improve the mental wellbeing of the patients we treat.

One Place to Get Answers to Your Questions and Concerns

the tms journey

A Step By Step Process

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Book your free telephone consultation with Dr. Clinch and use this time to ask any questions or voice any concerns about TMS. If there are no contraindications to treatment, you are a good candidate, and you wish to proceed with a full evaluation, we will schedule a full intake. You will be sent an invite to our confidential patient portal and forms for review and completion that expedite care.

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Shortly after this, you will be seen in person for the full TMS evaluation. This will provide adequate information for us to then submit prior authorization for TMS coverage to your insurer. If seeking care off-label through self-pay, prior authorization is not needed. We then schedule your first and all subsequent treatment sessions. We obtain prior authorization and inform you of all costs prior to starting care. 

Samuel B. Clinch, MD

Come in for your first treatment which starts with a 'mapping' to establish your unique treatment intensity and location. Following this and at all subsequent sessions, you will recline in a motorized chair, similar to a dental visit. You can then relax, listen to music, watch TV, read or chat during the treatment. At the end of your sessions, you can drive and return to your day as normal.

Our shared inspiration is to alleviate mental illness and improve the mental wellbeing of the patients we treat. We respect all backgrounds and cultures and want to hear our patient’s stories to best guide care. During treatment, we reinforce positive wellness practices, help maximize lifestyle modifications, and integrate rTMS therapy into a patient’s overall mental and physical health treatment.
