How does TMS Therapy Work?
- BrainsWay. is a non-invasive procedure, involving stimulation of a part of the brain called the Left Prefrontal Cortex. The stimulation activates the nerve cells in this region of the brain and improves depressive symptoms. The stimulation is produced by a treatment “coil” contained in a helmet. During the treatment, the helmet is gently positioned on the left front side of your head, over this region of the brain.
- Short pulses of electricity sent through the treatment coil generate magnetic fields that turn on and off very rapidly. These magnetic fields are similar to those used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The magnetic field goes through the head and induces a weak electrical current that briefly activates the nerve cells in this region of the brain and improves depressive symptoms.
Has BrainsWay been tested?
- BrainsWay uses Deep TMS technology, which has been tested in over 60 clinical studies for various indications in leading institutions worldwide. The FDA has cleared this technology for clinical use in Major Depressive Disorder and it is currently available in the US, Europe and South America. Over 15,000 patients have already been treated with BrainsWay.
