Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is FDA-cleared for treating Depression and OCD and offers an alternative for people who have not found sufficient relief with medication.

Deep TMS is an advanced form of this therapy that reaches deeper brain regions with a patented helmet device. The treatment requires no anesthesia or hospitalization. It does not cause systemic side effects and is generally well-tolerated by individuals who have not improved with antidepressants or therapy.

How Deep TMS Works

Deep TMS uses BrainsWay’s patented H-Coil technology to reach deeper and broader areas of the brain than standard TMS. The helmet’s magnetic pulses stimulate neural networks linked to mood regulation, helping reset patterns of brain activity that contribute to symptoms of depression and OCD.

During a session, patients sit comfortably in a chair while the device delivers pulses for about 20 minutes. The process is quiet, noninvasive, and does not interfere with your ability to return to daily activities immediately after.

The video below shows exactly how the treatment is delivered.

When Medications Alone Aren’t Enough, Deep TMS Can Help

BrainsWay’s FDA-cleared Deep TMS therapy offers a safe, noninvasive option for people living with treatment-resistant depression and is also cleared for treating OCD.

Treatment resistant depression is real and it can leave people feeling like they are out of options. Deep TMS (Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) gives patients a new path forward by reaching underactive mood centers in the brain that medications often cannot.

Sessions last about 20 minutes, require no anesthesia, and allow patients to return to daily life immediately. With minimal side effects and strong real world results, 82% of patients respond and 65% achieve remission. Deep TMS is changing lives when other treatments have not.

Why Medications May Not Work For You

Treatment-Resistant Depression typically refers to cases where two or more antidepressants have failed to provide sufficient relief.

The brain’s circuits or networks may be altered in ways that medications don’t fully reach.

Even for people who initially respond, medications can lose effectiveness over time or with changes in brain chemistry.

Why Trying Another Medication May Not Help

Antidepressant medication can be life-changing, but for people with “Treatment-Resistant Depression”, adding another prescription often leads to diminishing returns.

What This Means

If you’ve already tried two or three antidepressant medications without sufficient relief, the chances of the next one working decreases significantly. This is one of the main reasons why Deep TMS is such a powerful solution for people struggling with Treatment-Resistant Depression. Deep TMS is also FDA-cleared to treat OCD, offering new hope for individuals whose symptoms haven’t improved with standard approaches.
