TMS Therapy Success Rate: How Does It Compare?

If you’re struggling with depression, you’re not alone - and you’re likely asking:

What actually works?

That’s where TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) enters the conversation.

Let’s break down how effective TMS really is - nationally and here at Inspire TMS Denver.

The Problem: Traditional Options Don’t Work for Everyone

• Antidepressants: Up to 70% of people don’t fully respond after multiple trials.
• Therapy: Helpful, but often not enough for severe or long-term depression.
• ECT: Effective, but invasive - with side effects like memory loss.

Despite so many treatment paths, millions still live with treatment-resistant depression - often losing hope.

The Solution: TMS Therapy Offers Proven, Lasting Relief

TMS is non-invasive, medication-free, and FDA-cleared for depression. Instead of systemic effects, it targets underactive brain areas directly.

National Outcomes:

• 58% of patients see a significant improvement
• 37–45% achieve full remission
• Very low dropout rates
• Zero systemic side effects
