TMS of Tennessee Franklin: Your Local Partner for Advanced NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Welcome to TMS of Tennessee Franklin, located at 354 Downs Blvd Suite 109 in Franklin, TN 37064. We are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy specifically for our patients in the Franklin community. Our practice is focused solely on delivering NeuroStar TMS Therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) find relief and reclaim their lives.
Understanding NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingesting drugs, eliminating systemic side effects often associated with pharmaceutical interventions. The NeuroStar® TMS System, the technology we utilize at our Franklin location, is the first and only TMS therapy proven by the FDA to be effective for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), including cases that have not responded adequately to one or more antidepressant medications.
How NeuroStar TMS Therapy Works
During a NeuroStar TMS session, our trained technicians will position a comfortable, custom-fit helmet over your head. This helmet contains a magnetic coil that generates focused pulses of magnetic energy. These pulses gently penetrate the skull and target specific regions of your brain responsible for controlling mood. The device precisely maps the optimal stimulation site during your initial session to ensure personalized and effective treatment.
You will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your scalp during the procedure. Most patients find this sensation comfortable and tolerable, often describing it as a gentle tapping or tapping sensation. The treatment itself is completely painless and does not require anesthesia or sedation. You will remain awake and alert throughout the session, able to listen to music or watch videos of your choice.
Each NeuroStar TMS session typically lasts between 25 to 45 minutes. The standard treatment protocol involves attending sessions five days a week for approximately four to six weeks. Our team at TMS of Tennessee Franklin will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and schedule.
Who is a Candidate for TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is primarily indicated for adults (18 years and older) diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not achieved satisfactory improvement with previous treatments, including one or more trials of antidepressant medication at adequate doses for an adequate duration (typically four to nine weeks per medication).
While TMS is most commonly sought for treatment-resistant depression, it is also being studied for potential benefits in other conditions such as anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and certain types of chronic pain. However, our focus at TMS of Tennessee Franklin remains primarily on providing effective treatment for MDD. We recommend scheduling a consultation with us to determine if you are a suitable candidate for NeuroStar TMS Therapy.
