Contact UsHow Does Deep TMS Work?
Our team at TMS Therapy Center is proud to offer BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a groundbreaking new treatment technique that minimizes the symptoms of several mental health conditions. Deep TMS works by employing a magnetic field through uniquely shaped coils called H-Coils to influence the brain's neural activity, specifically, the areas of the brain associated with a patient's emotions. Numerous clinical studies have backed this FDA-cleared treatment for its safety and long-term effectiveness in adults up to age 65. For more information about BrainsWay Deep TMS, we invite you to call our Houston, TX practice today.

Why Should I Refer Patients to Deep TMS?
At TMS Therapy Center in Houston, TX, we know that some patients may not respond well to psychotherapy or psychiatric medications, so we provide BrainsWay Deep TMS as an alternative form of treatment. Studies have found that 33% of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 50 percent of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have not been able to find relief through medications alone. That said, clinical studies have revealed that Deep TMS combined with psychiatric medication is considerably more effective at treating symptoms of depression.
