Southeast Virginia Psychiatry Accelerated Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (SeVA aiTBS)
What is SeVA aiTBS?
Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) is a form of TMS that delivers brief patterns of magnetic stimulation to areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Our accelerated iTBS provides ten brief treatment sessions each day, allowing the treatment course to be completed in five days.
What SeVA aiTBS is not.
SeVA aiTBS is designed to be a self-pay accelerated iTBS approach that doesn’t require fMRI targeting. Our approach was inspired by Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), but differs in substantive ways.
Unlike SAINT, SeVA’s aiTBS is NOT FDA-cleared. Results from SAINT should not be assumed to predict individual outcomes with Southeast Virginia Psychiatry aiTBS.
