Dr. O’Reardon has been involved with research in TMS since 1997 and has treated approximately 100 patients during that time. In all, the TMS laboratory at Penn has safely administered between 7,500 and 10,000 TMS sessions over the last 10 years.
Recently, Dr. O'Reardon was the Principal Investigator for the largest study of TMS as a stand alone treatment for major depression. This large, multi-site study, which appeared in the December 1st, 2008 issue of Biological Psychiatry, showed that TMS is a well-tolerated and effective treatment option for patients with depression.
