Frequently Asked Questions About Our Coral Gables Services
1. What is TMS therapy and how is it performed at your Coral Gables clinic?
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. At our clinic at 2600 Douglas Rd Suite 711, you will be seated in a comfortable chair. An electromagnetic coil is placed gently against your scalp near your forehead. The device then delivers focused magnetic pulses. The treatment is administered while you are awake and alert throughout the session.
2. Who is a candidate for TMS therapy at your location?
TMS therapy is typically for adults diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder who have not achieved satisfactory results from prior antidepressant medication. A consultation with Dr. Melissa Fickey at our Coral Gables office is essential to determine if TMS is the right treatment for your specific condition based on a thorough medical and psychiatric assessment.
3. What can I expect during a typical treatment session at 2600 Douglas Rd?
Each session at our Suite 711 location lasts about 18-20 minutes for the actual treatment, though you should plan for a slightly longer appointment for setup. You will be awake and can listen to music or relax during the procedure. There is no need for anesthesia or sedation, and you can drive yourself to and from your appointments and return to your normal daily activities immediately afterward.
4. Are there any side effects associated with TMS?
TMS is well-tolerated by most patients. The most common side effect is mild to moderate scalp discomfort or headache at the treatment site, which usually subsides shortly after the session or can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Unlike antidepressant medications, TMS is not associated with systemic side effects such as weight gain, drowsiness, or sexual dysfunction.
