5. Newer Protocols: Duration of Stimulation
Deep TMS: 20 min per treatment
Neuronetics new coil: 19 min 
Theta burst: 6 min
The H-coil
Faster frequency
Repeated more frequently
Available on 2 of the devices

6. Key Points There are 5 FDA-approved devices.
 The most common coil configuration is the figure-of-eight coil, which includes the Neuronetics iron core. 
The deep H-coil is fundamentally different.
 Newer treatment protocols allow treatment to be finished faster than 37 minutes.
