How Long Does TMS Take?

TMS List Editorial Team |

A standard TMS course involves 20-36 sessions delivered over 4-6 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 19-37 minutes depending on the protocol used.

TMS treatment is typically administered five days per week (Monday through Friday) for 4-6 weeks. During each session, you will sit in a comfortable chair while the TMS coil is positioned against your scalp. The machine delivers magnetic pulses in short bursts, and you may feel a tapping or clicking sensation.

Most patients begin noticing improvements by weeks 2-3 of treatment. After completing the initial course, some patients may benefit from maintenance sessions or periodic "booster" treatments to sustain their improvement over time.
