rTMS data presented at APA Conference.....

Posted by twinleaf on May 6, 2008, at 15:56:12

showed statistically significant results with treatment-resistant MDD patients with one or more failed drug trials. The maker of the TMS device, Neuronetics, is resubmitting their application for FDA approval now, and they expect to hear whether or not it is accepted within a few months. A number of psychiatrists in my area have already taken training courses in its use from the University of South Carolina, where much of the research has taken place, and they are just waiting for its approval to begin offering it.

As someone who has been flying to Atlanta twice a year for TMS for the last five years, I am SO THRILLED!! In the studies, it gave remissions for 50% of patients for whom one, or often many drugs had not worked. From our perspective, that is really good! Also, other than being painful during administration, it is free of unwanted side effects.

I am SO HAPPY because it has faithfully worked every time I have gotten it...nothing else has.
