CloudTMS Therapy for Depression
CloudTMS is FDA-approved for treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Studies and clinical use show high response and remission rates for MDD and treatment-resistant depression — without systemic medication side effects.
TMS Therapy System
- rTMS & iTBS protocols
- 3-, 19- & 37-minute protocols
- Figure-8 coil platform
- MDD & OCD treatment options
Response in Clinical Practice
Literature and real-world experience suggest TMS for depression is at least as effective as many medication trials — with fewer systemic side effects for most patients.

What Is CloudTMS?
TMS treats depression by stimulating the brain non-invasively with brief magnetic pulses — similar in field strength to MRI — focused on regions linked to mood, especially the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
How Stimulation Works
Current through the TMS coil generates a magnetic field that passes through the skull and induces electric fields in neural tissue — exciting or inhibiting regions depending on protocol frequency.
Structural Brain Changes
Repetitive sessions over 3–6 weeks can increase gray matter density and blood flow in stimulated areas — changes visible on research MRI scans.
Durable Benefit
Many patients report lasting benefit years after a course. Some return for maintenance sessions months later if symptoms recur.
Why Providers Choose CloudTMS
Dr. Olga Segal of the Segal Psychiatry Network discusses her reasoning for using transcranial magnetic stimulation and shares a patient success story.
Benefits of CloudTMS
Personalized Treatment
CloudTMS customizes stimulation based on each patient’s anatomy so pulses reach the areas that need activation — optimizing outcomes.
Non-Invasive & Comfortable
Outpatient sessions without anesthesia or recovery time — fitting into busy schedules with minimal disruption.
Clinically Proven Effectiveness
Demonstrated efficacy for depression with significant symptom improvement and lasting relief for many patients compared with medication alone.
Who Is CloudTMS For?
Adults with MDD — including treatment-resistant depression — who want a non-drug option are commonly evaluated for CloudTMS.
Common Considerations
Prior Medication Trials
Patients who have not responded adequately to antidepressants may qualify under FDA-cleared and payer criteria.
Medication Side Effects
TMS avoids systemic side effects such as weight gain or sexual dysfunction for many patients.
Same-Day Recovery
Patients typically drive themselves and resume normal activities after each session.
Questions to Discuss With a TMS Provider
These questions can help you identify topics to discuss with a qualified clinician. They are not a diagnostic or eligibility test.
- Have you been diagnosed with major depressive disorder?
- How many antidepressant medications have you tried during your current depressive episode?
- Do you have any non-removable conductive metal or implants in or near your head?
- Are you looking for a non-drug option, or to add to your current care?
