What Is the SAINT Protocol?

 

The SAINT Protocol is a revolutionary treatment for depression that uses accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Unlike traditional TMS, the SAINT Protocol delivers intensive, high-dose sessions over a short period, targeting specific brain regions associated with mood regulation. This therapy is particularly effective for:

​

• Treatment-Resistant Depression – Providing hope for individuals who haven’t responded to medications or traditional therapies.

• Severe Depression with Acute Symptoms – Including those experiencing suicidal thoughts or debilitating mood disturbances.

Benefits of the SAINT Protocol

 

The SAINT Protocol offers several unique advantages:

​

• Rapid Relief – Many patients experience significant symptom improvement within days.

• Non-Invasive – The treatment requires no surgery or sedation.

• FDA-Approved – Backed by rigorous research and proven to be safe and effective.

• High Success Rate – Studies show the SAINT Protocol provides lasting relief for many patients.

• No Systemic Side Effects – Unlike medications, it avoids side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction.

How Does the SAINT Protocol Work?

 

The SAINT Protocol targets the brain’s dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a region critical for regulating mood. Here’s how the process works:

​

1. Comprehensive Evaluation
   During your initial consultation, our specialists will review your medical history, symptoms, and treatment goals to determine if the SAINT Protocol is right for you.

2. Treatment Sessions
   The protocol involves multiple short, high-frequency TMS sessions delivered over 5 days. These sessions stimulate underactive areas of the brain, enhancing neural connectivity and mood regulation.

3. Monitoring and Support
   Throughout your treatment, our team closely monitors your progress to ensure safety and effectiveness.

4. Follow-Up Care
   After completing the protocol, we provide ongoing support to maintain your progress, including regular check-ins and additional therapies as needed.

Who Can Benefit from the SAINT Protocol?

 

The SAINT Protocol is designed for individuals with:

​

• Treatment-Resistant Depression

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

• Acute Suicidal Ideation

If you’ve struggled to find relief with traditional treatments, the SAINT Protocol may be a life-changing option.
