Elevate Mental Health Treatment with BrainsWay Deep TMS™
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood, behavior, and emotional regulation.
Unlike medications, Deep TMS does not circulate through the body and does not cause systemic side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction. Unlike Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), it does not require anesthesia or cause memory loss.
Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for several mental health conditions and has helped thousands of patients worldwide find relief when medications and traditional therapy have not been enough.
How Deep TMS Differs from Standard TMS
Deep TMS uses a specialized helmet containing patented H-Coil technology that allows magnetic stimulation to reach deeper and broader brain networks than conventional TMS systems.
This broader stimulation may be beneficial for patients with complex or treatment-resistant conditions.
Key Advantages of Deep TMS
- Non-invasive and drug-free
- No anesthesia or sedation required
- Minimal side effects
- Sessions typically last 20 minutes
- Resume normal activities immediately after treatment
- FDA-cleared technology
- Can be used alongside medications and psychotherapy
What Conditions Does Deep TMS Treat?
Deep TMS is primarily used to treat mental health conditions that involve dysregulated brain circuits.
Major Depressive Disorder (Depression)
Deep TMS is highly effective for adults experiencing depression, particularly when antidepressant medications have not provided sufficient relief.
Anxiety Symptoms Associated with Depression
Many patients with depression also experience excessive worry, tension, and panic symptoms. Deep TMS may help reduce both depressive and anxious symptoms.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Deep TMS is FDA-cleared as an adjunctive treatment for adults with OCD and can help reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Smoking Addiction
Deep TMS is also FDA-cleared as an aid for short-term smoking cessation in adults.
Late-Life Depression treatment
Our recent FDA clearance demonstrates the reduction of depression symptoms among elderly patients, aged 68-86.
How Does Deep TMS Work?
Mental health disorders are associated with changes in activity within specific brain networks.
Deep TMS delivers magnetic pulses that safely activate and regulate these neural circuits, helping restore healthier patterns of brain function.
Treatment Process
- Initial Evaluation – A psychiatrist determines whether Deep TMS is appropriate.
- Brain Mapping – The optimal stimulation settings are personalized.
- Treatment Sessions – You sit comfortably while wearing a helmet that delivers magnetic pulses.
- Progress Monitoring – Symptoms are tracked throughout treatment.
Typical Treatment Schedule
- 5 sessions per week
- 4 to 6 weeks of acute treatment
- Additional maintenance sessions when needed
Many patients begin noticing improvement within two to four weeks, though response times vary.
