How Does Deep TMS Work?
What To Expect
During Deep TMS treatment, a special helmet containing a magnetic coil is placed over your head, focused on an area of the brain associated with depression. BrainsWay’s unique coil design enables deep and broad stimulation, resulting in activation of neurons and reduced likelihood of targeting errors.
You’ll be comfortably sitting in a chair, awake, and alert during the treatment, and you can resume normal activities immediately after. It is a noninvasive and clinically proven procedure.
Shortest Clinically Proven Treatments
BrainsWay offers a 20-minute Deep TMS treatment protocol for depression patients that has been validated extensively in placebo-controlled research. Treatment involves sitting comfortably in a chair in your healthcare provider’s office and wearing the helmet for approximately 20 minutes, five days per week, for one month.

Deep TMS treatment is safe to combine with any sort of medication or psychotherapy, under the direction of the patient’s physician. Deep TMS is both noninvasive and found to be effective in treating a variety of mental illnesses, as a standalone treatment, or in combination with other forms of therapy.
