How successful is TMS for OCD?

Research evaluating how well deep TMS works for treating OCD has found that about 45% of patients have reduced OCD symptoms at one month following treatment. Research conducted by BrainsWay, the manufacturer of one of the devices used in the FDA-cleared OCD treatment, found that this number could be over 55%.

The treatment utilizes a magnetic field emitted by BrainsWay's patented H7-coil to directly reach broader and deeper brain regions than its predecessors, regulating the neural activity of brain structures associated with OCD – specifically the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex.

The treatment of choice for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Deep TMS™ has been shown to be safe and effective. The magnetic stimulation creates a powerful current that enters the brain, reducing symptoms without causing any harmful effects or side effects usually associated in treatments like this one; it's proven particularly helpful when patients haven't responded well enough from traditional methods before!
