Deep TMS: a non-invasive path forward

How Deep TMS works

Deep TMS uses an electromagnetic coil, positioned against the scalp, to deliver magnetic pulses that stimulate neural activity in brain regions associated with mood and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Unlike standard TMS, the BrainsWay system's H-coil design is built to reach broader and deeper brain structures.

Sessions are administered as a structured course over several weeks, decided individually by your psychiatrist based on your evaluation, rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all schedule.

Conditions Deep TMS may help with

Deep TMS is typically considered for the following, especially where earlier treatment (medication, therapy, or both) hasn't been enough on its own. It's not a first-line treatment for everyone: whether it's the right fit comes out of your psychiatric evaluation.

A typical session

• You sit comfortably in a treatment chair, without sedation or anaesthesia.
• The coil is positioned against your scalp and delivers a series of magnetic pulses.
• You're awake and alert throughout, and can talk with our team during the session.
• Once it's done, you're free to drive and return to your normal day.

Is Deep TMS right for you?

Deep TMS isn't suitable for everyone. For instance, it generally isn't recommended if you have certain metal implants or a history of seizures. Your psychiatrist reviews your full history before recommending it, and will walk you through what it does and doesn't involve before you begin.

Unlike medication, Deep TMS doesn't circulate through the bloodstream, so it carries no systemic side effects. The most common effect reported is mild scalp discomfort during a session.
