During a TMS session for the treatment of depression, an electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp just above your left eyebrow, depending on the treatment protocol. The treatment coil painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse, similar to that used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), that stimulates nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. TMS activates regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression or other mood disorders.
While the biology of why TMS works isn't completely understood, the stimulation has proved to impact how the brain is working, which in turn seems to ease depression symptoms and improve mood. There are different ways to perform the procedure, and varying treatment protocols used depending on the condition being treated. However, the standard, most widely used condition treated is depression - which was FDA-approved in 2008. Since this time, millions of people have benefited from TMS.

STAR*D is the largest prospective clinical trial of major depressive disorder ever conducted. It was a multicenter, nationwide association of 14 university-based regional centers, which oversaw a total of 23 participating psychiatric clinics and 18 primary care clinics. STAR*D was a seminal, large-scale, practical clinical trial that provided a great deal of data for clinicians, researchers, and policy makers about antidepressant therapy regimes.
Since the conclusion of this trial in 2004, TMS was first FDA-approved in 2008, and has now become widely used by psychiatrist and other physician specialities across the United States. Learn more about the Star*D Study HERE.
