FDA-approved treatment that specifically targets the brain circuits involved in obsessive-compulsive disorder, offering hope for breaking the cycle of OCD symptoms.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities and cause considerable distress.
Fear of germs leading to excessive handwashing
Repeatedly checking locks, appliances, or safety
Need for things to be perfectly arranged
Intrusive thoughts causing intense anxiety
Inability to discard items due to distress
Take our specialized OCD assessment to determine if TMS therapy could help you overcome obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Recovery is possible.
Take the OCD AssessmentTMS therapy for OCD targets specific brain circuits involved in the disorder, particularly the orbitofrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex, helping to reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
TMS modulates hyperactive brain circuits that drive obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors in OCD.
Deep TMS targets the supplementary motor area, a key region in OCD pathophysiology.
Treatment promotes neural plasticity, allowing the brain to develop healthier response patterns.
Deep TMS received FDA approval for OCD treatment in 2018, making it one of the most recent and exciting advances in OCD therapy. Clinical trials demonstrate significant symptom reduction in patients with treatment-resistant OCD.
Our specialized OCD treatment program utilizes the latest deep TMS technology and evidence-based protocols specifically designed for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Specialized training and experience in treating OCD with deep TMS protocols.
Advanced H-coil technology that reaches deeper brain structures involved in OCD.
Integration with therapy and other OCD treatments for optimal outcomes.
Treatment protocols based on the latest OCD research and FDA-approved parameters.
Directly addresses the hyperactive brain circuits that drive OCD symptoms rather than just managing symptoms.
Avoid the weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and other side effects common with OCD medications.
Treatment doesn't impair cognitive function or daily activities - patients can work and drive normally.
Many patients maintain improvement for months to years after completing treatment.
Our OCD treatment protocol is specifically designed to target the brain circuits involved in obsessive-compulsive disorder while ensuring your comfort and understanding throughout the process.
Comprehensive evaluation using validated OCD rating scales to understand your specific symptoms and severity.
Precise positioning of the deep H-coil to target the supplementary motor area involved in OCD.
5 sessions per week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 20 minutes.
Regular assessment of OCD symptom improvement using standardized measures throughout treatment.
Don't let OCD control your life. Our FDA-approved deep TMS treatment offers new hope for breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
Deep TMS uses a specialized H7 coil that can reach deeper brain structures like the anterior cingulate cortex, which are implicated in OCD. Standard TMS coils typically stimulate more superficial regions. This deeper reach is often crucial for effective OCD treatment.
Clinical studies have shown response rates of around 45-55% for patients with treatment-resistant OCD, with many experiencing a significant reduction in symptom severity. Results can vary by individual.
Yes, unlike depression treatment, OCD TMS protocols typically involve brief "provocation" or exposure to obsessive thoughts immediately before or during stimulation. This activates the relevant brain circuits, making them more receptive to the treatment.
Yes, essentially all major insurance payers cover Deep TMS for OCD, usually requiring that the patient has tried medication and/or therapy (ERP) without sufficient success.
A standard course of TMS for OCD usually involves 29-30 sessions over a period of about 6 weeks. Sessions are typically conducted 5 days a week.
