What is accelerated TMS?
The accelerated protocol was developed at Stanford University and is often referred to as the SAINT Protocol, for Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy. This innovative approach was designed to deliver a high-dose, high-frequency regimen of TMS over a compressed time frame, producing rapid and significant improvements in symptoms. While the researchers behind the protocol have commercialized their work and trademarked the SAINT acronym, the core principles of the protocol are derived from peer-reviewed and published research and techniques, and others can implement accelerated TMS methodologies within the scope of existing evidence-based practices.
We offer an accelerated protocol that adheres to the established principles of intensive neuromodulation therapy. The key aspects of this approach are multiple sessions per day over a condensed period, targeting specific areas of the brain to achieve rapid symptom relief. This approach is grounded in the scientific literature and mirrors the rigorous protocols outlined in the original SAINT studies, while incorporating current best practices and details specific to each patient for efficacy, safety, and patient comfort.
