MagVenture has received CE approval to market a 3 minute TBS (theta burst) protocol for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvements from two prior antidepressant medications at or above the minimal effective dose in the current episode. This revolutionary TBS protocol which will allow for a much higher patient throughput. We call it Express TMS^®.

This faster TMS treatment is just as safe and effective for the treatment of major depressive disorder as standard TMS, only much faster. MagVenture was the first to receive FDA clearance for this revolutionary TMS treatment which is now also CE approved. The 3 minute theta burst protocol is backed up by substantial scientific evidence.

The results from the THREE-D trial 

The effectiveness of TMS from the world’s largest randomized controlled trial, known as the THREE-D trial, involved 414 patients suffering from major depressive disorder.  Remission rates were 32% for those receiving the TBS protocol, whereas 49% responded to the treatment. These response rates are similar to the standard, longer TMS protocol. The results were published in The Lancet in 2018.

Dr. Robert McMullen of TMS Brain Care is excited about the 3 minute theta protocol. Watch the video to learn why.
