BrainsWay® Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive therapy that employs gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate crucial brain areas responsible for mood regulation. Unlike traditional depression treatment options, Deep TMS directly targets the neural pathways associated with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), providing significant symptom relief for patients—even when other treatments have not been effective.
How Deep TMS Works for Treatment-Resistant Depression
In each 20-minute session, patients relax comfortably while a specialized helmet administers targeted magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain. There is no need for anesthesia, and patients experience no systemic side effects, allowing them to return to work or their daily activities immediately afterward.
BrainsWay’s innovative H-coil technology penetrates deeper and covers broader areas of the brain compared to standard TMS devices, resulting in a more effective and efficient treatment experience.
Benefits of Deep TMS
High efficacy: Proven to assist patients in achieving remission, even after unsuccessful antidepressant trials.
Safe and well-tolerated: Experience minimal side effects, which are usually limited to mild scalp discomfort.
Convenient: Enjoy 20-minute sessions, five days a week, typically lasting over 4–6 weeks.
Covered by insurance: Most major health plans recognize BrainsWay Deep TMS for treating depression and OCD.
FDA approved indications for BrainsWay Deep TMS include: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Symptoms Related to Depression, and Smoking Addiction (FDA-cleared indication).

Research indicates that around 50% to 60% of individuals with treatment-resistant depression may find a clinically meaningful response to BrainsWay Deep TMS treatment, with 50% achieving remission. Clinical outcomes show even more promise, boasting an 81% response rate and a 65% remission rate. Furthermore, TMS for depression is an excellent choice for those who experience side effects commonly associated with prescription medications, as it is a noninvasive therapy with fewer risks.
