Novel TMS Protocol Shows Strong Outcomes in Adolescents and Young Adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression
A peer-reviewed study indicates that a new sequential bilateral TMS protocol is highly effective for adolescents and young adults suffering from treatment-resistant depression. The treatment showed significant improvements in remission rates and a reduction in suicidal ideation compared to standard protocols.

A peer-reviewed study found that almost 70% of adolescents and young adults responded to a sequential bilateral TMS protocol. This led to noticeable reductions in depression, anxiety, and suicidality.
The report summarizes clinical study results and cites specific data points without editorializing.
