Accelerated TMS in Sacramento
A full TMS course in as little as ONE day. Modern Minds Health was the first in Sacramento to offer the AMPA One-Day protocol.
AMPA One-Day TMS delivers 20 brief magnetic stimulation sessions over the course of a single treatment day.
Instead of one treatment each weekday for six weeks, or several treatments a day for five days, the entire accelerated protocol takes place over about nine to ten hours. Short treatment sessions are separated by structured rest intervals throughout the day in our calming, comfortable, and carefully-catered environment.
Your day, hour by hour
Mapping, medication, then your first sessions
A physician locates your treatment target and sets the dose. The protocol includes medications given before treatment to support neuroplasticity when clinically appropriate. Then we begin the first block of brief TMS sessions.
You will be here for most of the day, so bring headphones, a laptop, something to read, or whatever makes a long day easier.
Treatment, rest, repeat
Each TMS session lasts only a few minutes, followed by about 30 minutes of rest before the next.
Most of the day is actually spent between treatments. You can work, read, eat, watch something, or simply relax while our team keeps the schedule moving.
We keep measuring
We repeat standardized symptom measures during treatment and continue tracking them afterward. The goal is not just to finish 20 sessions, it is to know whether they actually helped.
Final sessions, then home
After the twentieth treatment, we review the day and walk you through what happens next.
Improvement does not have to happen that day. With accelerated TMS, symptoms can continue changing after the stimulation itself is finished, which is why follow-up matters.
Ask whether one day
is realistic for you
One-Day TMS is an emerging accelerated protocol and is not right for everyone. It also differs from standard TMS in its evidence base and insurance coverage. A provider will tell you plainly at the consultation.
