Deep TMS for OCD works by utilising BrainsWay’s H7-coil to directly reach wider and deeper regions of the brain and regulate neural activity of the brain structures associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder - specifically the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex.

Since Deep TMS is a non-invasive treatment, it is

tolerated by most patients and does not cause any long-lasting side effects.
