One day vs. six weeks: what’s actually different
Traditional TMS is real, FDA-cleared, and effective for many people, it’s also a genuine time commitment: daily sessions, five days a week, for about six weeks. Brain Centers’ AMPA One Day Protocol uses the same category of FDA-cleared technology, delivered on a condensed, accelerated schedule instead.
Side-by-side
Why accelerated doesn’t mean less thorough
The total therapeutic dose isn’t reduced, the schedule is compressed. Sessions are precisely spaced within a condensed window rather than spread across six weeks of once-daily visits.
Who’s a good fit for which
Not everyone qualifies for the accelerated protocol, a telehealth consultation with our clinical team confirms fit for your specific history and goals before any commitment.
See what accelerated treatment gives back
Traditional TMS means roughly 30 round trips to the clinic over six weeks. Our AMPA One Day Protocol can complete that same course of treatment in as little as a single visit, for qualifying patients. Slide to see how many hours of commuting that could save you.

Protocol (1 visit)
Estimate based on commute time only, for illustration. Actual visit count and session length depend on your personalized protocol.
Same technology category, a fraction of the time commitment
If six weeks of daily appointments has kept you from starting traditional TMS, the accelerated format exists specifically to remove that barrier, not to cut corners on treatment.
Same dose, different pacing
The total therapeutic dose isn’t reduced, sessions are simply spaced more tightly within a condensed window instead of stretched across weeks.
Confirmed by a clinician, not a form
A telehealth consultation with our clinical team, not a self-serve quiz, determines whether the accelerated schedule is appropriate for your history.
