Benefits of TMS Pasadena for Depression Treatment

As an interventional mental healthcare treatment modality, TMS Pasadena can provide relief from the symptoms of depression in cases where traditional treatments have not been fully effective. The standard procedure, rTMS, and its advancement, dTMS, have many benefits that contribute to improving each individual’s mental health in the long term.

  Both rTMS and dTMS solutions in Pasadena are non-invasive treatments that regulate the neural activity of the brain structures associated with depression. For rTMS, a doctor utilizes a figure-8-shaped handheld device that emits electromagnetic pulses. Many patients today incorporate dTMS procedures into their treatment plans because its advanced technology allows for a stronger effect.

   The Benefits of dTMS Pasadena Treatments

At Pasadena Neuropsychology, our clinic utilizes BrainsWay dTMS procedures, which the FDA has cleared to help individuals with Treatment-Resistant Depression, Anxious Depression, and OCD. It can also help with smoking cessation. Instead of a handheld device, this

non-invasive procedure utilizes a magnetic field to regulate neural activity. This TMS depression treatment is safe, effective, and requires no anesthesia or recovery time.

  The Benefits of BrainsWay dTMS Procedures

When paired with medication, patients treated with BrainsWay dTMS procedures have a 60% remission rate (as opposed to a remission rate of 11% for patients who only used medication). While the standard rTMS is also effective, especially when paired with the right medication and overall treatment plan, the unique capabilities of DTMS increase its effectiveness in treating depression:

●       A study found that Standard rTMS used with medication reduced HAM-D17 by an average of 41%.

●       The same study found that BrainsWay dTMS + medication averages a Ham-D17 reduction of 59%.

●       In terms of depression symptom improvement, standard rTMS + medication has a 44% response rate.

●       For depression symptom improvement, BrainsWay dTMS + medication has a 67% response rate.

Can the Antidepressant Alternative TMS Be Used with Medication?

rTMS and dTMS Pasadena are both evidence-based interventional treatment modalities that can help patients when other treatments have failed. These antidepressant alternatives are noninvasive through the use of handheld devices (for rTMS) and magnetic fields (for dTMS).

Both are clinically proven to be safe and effective.

  At Pasadena Neuropsychiatry, we treat many of our patients with BrainsWay dTMS, which the FDA has cleared to help individuals with treatment-resistant depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is also used to help with smoking cessation. At our clinic, we specialize in SAINT TMS Pasadena protocol, which is an evidence-based intervention for patients who experience acute suicidal ideation.

   rTMS and dTMS Pasadena with Medication

Depending on your health, symptoms, and the results of past depression treatments, TMS procedures and medication may both be incorporated into your mental healthcare plan. Data published by the Journal of Psychiatric Research found that taking medication while undergoing TMS procedures can increase the remission rates of patients with depression.

  The study found that the remission rate of individuals treating their depression with medication was 11%. The remission rate increased to 60% for individuals who had BrainsWay dTMS treatments in addition to taking medication. The study also compared the results of BrainsWay dTMS and the standard rTMS treatments when both were used with medication:

●       The response rate of individuals using medication with rTMS was 44%.

●       The response rate of individuals using medication with BrainsWay dTMS was 67%.

●       Individuals using medication with rTMS had a HAM-D17 reduction of 41%.

●       Individuals using medication with BrainsWay dTMS had a HAM-D17 reduction of 59%.
