What are some examples of Advanced TMS Therapy?

Theta Burst TMS

At Smart Brain and Health, our team of physicians and specialists are constantly working on the most advanced techniques to improve patients’ overall experience. In addition to our Standard TMS, we also Theta Burst TMS, also known as TBS.

While Standard TMS employs 10 Hz (the number of hertz equals the number of cycles per second) magnetic frequency for 20-40 minutes, TBS uses 50 Hz magnetic frequency for just three minutes! TBS sends three rapid bursts every fraction of a second, mimicking the brain’s neuronal pattern of firing theta waves.

A large number of people who suffer from Depression, including medication resistant depression (MRD), experience impaired cognitive function both during and after depressive episodes. A 2015 study published in Progress in Neuro- Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry showed that intermittent TBS is an effective method for improving executive function in patients with and without depression.
