How Durable Are TMS Treatment Results?

One of the standout advantages of TMS is the lasting nature of its benefits. Research reveals that about two-thirds of patients maintain symptom improvement for at least a year post-treatment. Only a third may require maintenance sessions, ensuring continued success with minimal intervention.
