Brainsway Deep TMS can help these patients without generating medication-related side effects. Deep TMS is non-invasive, and doesn’t involve any kind of surgery or electroshock. The treatment stimulates the area in the brain responsible for depression, generating a magnetic field at amplitude similar to that of MRI. Therefore, unlike ECT, it does not involve any risk for memory loss and doesn’t require anesthesia or hospitalization.
A generally well-tolerated treatment, Deep TMS is easy on the patient, and integrates well into the patients’ routine. Its sessions are only 20 minutes (almost 50% shorter than other TMS types) so that any discomfort and schedule interruptions are minimized.
Brainsway’s Deep TMS sessions are easy on the patient, as they typically require short daily sessions of 20 minutes over 4-6 weeks. These sessions are almost 50% shorter than those of other TMS treatments, which typically last 37 minutes. With Brainsway Deep TMS’s short yet effective sessions, the patient experiences less discomfort and less interference with their daily schedule.
During the Deep TMS session, the patient is comfortably seated in a chair, and a cushioned helmet is gently placed over their head. The helmet generates brief magnetic fields, similar to those used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. After each brief session, patients can drive themselves home independently and resume their normal daily routine.
