Accelerated TMS for Perinatal Depression

Summary

We are studying a treatment for depression called accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) among pregnant and postpartum individuals. TMS is a focal, non-invasive form of brain stimulation that is cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for depression. Typically, traditional TMS involves daily treatments for 6-8 weeks. In this study, we will offer an accelerated form of TMS that involves multiple daily treatments for 5 days.

The odds of delivery nears 10% after 36 weeks, which would limit participants from being able to complete the study and interfere with the primary study aim
