TMS is FDA-cleared and has an excellent safety profile with over 15 years of clinical research and real-world use. Unlike medications, it carries no risk of dependency or systemic side effects.
TMS therapy has been extensively studied in clinical trials involving thousands of patients. The most common side effects are mild scalp discomfort and headaches, which typically diminish after the first few sessions. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS does not require anesthesia and has no risk of memory loss or confusion.
Serious adverse events such as seizures are extremely rare (occurring in approximately 0.001% of treatments). All TMS providers screen patients for contraindications before treatment and monitor sessions closely. Patients can drive themselves to and from appointments and resume normal activities immediately.
