You've done everything you were supposed to do.
You took the medication. You went to therapy. You kept showing up for work and for your family. When depression still won't lift, it's easy to feel like you've run out of options.
You haven't. SAINT was built for exactly this moment, and it takes one week, not months.
Mapping your brain, and your way forward
SAINT (Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy) is a personalized form of TMS developed at Stanford. Instead of aiming at a standard spot for everyone, it uses an MRI of your brain to find your own target, then treats it with gentle magnetic pulses.
A 45-minute brain scan
A painless MRI creates a map of your brain's connections. We coordinate the scan for you.
Your individual target
SAINT's software finds the precise spot in your brain linked to depression, so treatment is aimed at you.
Five days of treatment
Ten 10-minute sessions a day with 50-minute breaks, Monday through Friday. You're awake, can read or work between sessions, and can drive yourself.

How SAINT works and how it differs from conventional TMS
Is SAINT® TMS Right for You?
Tried antidepressants without enough relief? SAINT® TMS is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved enough with antidepressant medication.
SAINT® uses a personalized brain target and delivers treatment over five consecutive days. It differs from standard TMS in its targeting approach, treatment schedule, and research background. In a small randomized trial, 11 of 14 people receiving active treatment reached remission at the four-week assessment, compared with 2 of 15 receiving sham treatment. Results vary, and a five-day treatment course does not guarantee remission in five days.
How SAINT® Works and How It Differs From Conventional TMS
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved on antidepressants in the current episode. This video explains how it works, and how it differs from conventional TMS.
Conventional TMS usually means about 30 visits over 6 to 9 weeks. SAINT is five visits over five days.
What makes it different: SAINT is the only FDA-cleared depression treatment that uses an fMRI scan to personalize the stimulation target to your individual brain. A 45-minute scan maps your brain and identifies the specific circuit linked to depression. Treatment is then delivered as ten 10-minute sessions per day, with 50-minute breaks between them, across five consecutive days.
In clinical trials, 79% of participants reached remission, with an average of 2.6 days to remission. SAINT is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects reported were mild headache and temporary scalp discomfort at the treatment site.

Will my American Airlines plan cover it?

Do I need to get my own MRI?

How fast can treatment start?
With self-pay, most patients move from consultation to treatment within a few days. The insurance pathway generally takes longer because it requires benefits review and prior authorization.
Can I fly after SAINT® treatment?
SAINT® is an outpatient treatment and you can drive yourself to and from sessions. Many patients who travel for treatment fly home after the five-day protocol. Your care team will confirm any travel guidance for your situation.
