What is Deep TMS (dTMS)?
Deep-TMS
​
BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive, FDA-Cleared, outpatient treatment for depression and OCD with proven clinical results.
​
The technology was designed to stimulate neuronal targets using its patented H-coils, resulting in a deep and broad penetration of the magnetic field into areas of the brain that are affected in neuropsychiatric disorders.
​
Covered by most insurers for MDD, TMS is well-tolerated, with no systemic side effects and does not require anesthesia.

Patients with severe MOD or OCD symptoms don't always respond sufficiently to evidence-based psychological treatments
​
• Recurrent MDD episodes, as well as negative expectations about MDD treatment, have been shown to be associated with reduced outcomes for psychotherapy.
​
• Studies demonstrate that the severity of OCD is a reliable predictor of non-response to comprehensive cognitive therapy. Patients often fail to respond sufficiently to medications.
​
• 33% of MDD patients are resistant to any medication. 52% fail to respond to 1st line therapy. (STAR*D results).
​
• Approximately 50% of OCD patients are resistant to current first-line treatment methods, including SSRI medications. Patients often discontinue medication due to serious side effects.
​
•Antidepressant medication frequently produces side effects, such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, suicidal thoughts, nausea, insomnia, and anxiety.
