Progress Monitoring and Adjustments

At TMS Health Center, your progress is our priority. Throughout the entire course of your treatment, we carefully monitor your response to therapy to ensure you are receiving the maximum benefit. Progress monitoring is an essential part of the TMS process, as it allows us to tailor your care in real time and address any concerns as they arise. Our clinical team remains engaged and attentive, creating a supportive environment where your feedback matters and your results guide our decisions.

We use a range of standardized, evidence-based clinical tools to track symptom changes and overall improvement. These may include the PHQ-9 to assess depression severity, the GAD-7 to measure anxiety symptoms, or the Y-BOCS for obsessive-compulsive disorder. By regularly comparing your scores and discussing your daily experiences, we’re able to measure progress with clarity and precision. We also observe cognitive and emotional responses, noting shifts in energy, motivation, sleep, concentration, and mood stability.

Most patients tolerate TMS therapy well, but we remain vigilant for any side effects, which are generally mild and short-lived—such as scalp discomfort or slight headaches. If you experience any discomfort or changes in response, our team is quick to make adjustments to your treatment settings. We may recalibrate stimulation intensity, reposition the magnetic coil, or adapt session frequency to improve comfort and effectiveness while maintaining safety.

Communication is at the heart of our care model. We stay in close contact with your referring physician, therapist, or psychiatrist to ensure your treatment is well-coordinated and aligned with your broader mental health goals. Together, we create a cohesive care team focused on your long-term recovery, continually refining your treatment to deliver the best possible outcome.
