Deep TMS

Deep TMS

Advanced Brain Stimulation Treatment

What Is It?

  • Non-invasive brain stimulation using magnetic fields
  • Similar to MRI technology
  • 20-minute sessions in office setting
  • Uses specialized H-Coil helmet
  • 1

    How It Works?

  • Targets left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
  • Generates focused magnetic pulses
  • Creates small electrical currents
  • Activates neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine)
  • 2

    Key Benefits

  • Reaches deeper brain structures
  • Broader coverage of brain regions
  • No decrease in magnetic field intensity
  • No neuronavigation equipment needed
  • 3

    Treatment Applications

  • FDA-approved: Depression (MDD), OCD
  • CE-marked: Multiple psychiatric conditions
  • Effective for anxious depression
  • Helps with smoking addiction
  • 4

    Patient Experience

  • Comfortable outpatient procedure
  • No anesthesia required
  • No hospitalization needed
  • Minimal side effects
  • 5

    ASPECT DEEP TMS CONVENTIONAL TMS
    Coil type H-shaped coil inside a helmet Figure 8 coil
    Magnetic stimulation depth 1.25 inches 0.27 inches
    Session length 20 minutes per session 30-40 minutes per session
    FDA treatment indications MDD, OCD, short-term smoking cessation MDD
    European CE certification mark MDD, OCD, AD, Autism, Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Pain, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, post-stroke rehabilitation, PTSD, the negative symptoms of Schizophrenia, and smoking cessation MDD, certain migraine headaches
    Magnetic pulse depth 1.25 inches 0.27 inches
    Field of stimulation Wider More focal
    Targeting Direct stimulation of deeper and wider ranges of the brain More focal
    Effectiveness Shown to be more effective in treating certain patients and conditions, such as OCD and moderate-to-severe depression Generally less effective in treating deeper brain structures and conditions requiring broader stimulation

    Comparison of Deep TMS with ECT in treatment of Depression

    ASPECT DEEP TMS ECT
    Mechanism Magnetic fields targeting deep brain structures Electric currents inducing therapeutic seizure
    Side Effects Minimal; patients remain awake Headache, muscle pain, nausea, memory loss
    FDA Status Cleared for depression, OCD, smoking cessation Not FDA-approved for all conditions
    Process Outpatient, helmet with H-Coil Hospital setting, general anesthesia
    Effectiveness High success rate, preferred first-line Higher efficacy for treatment-resistant cases
    Treatment Setting Can be done in clinics Requires hospital setup
    Cost & Access More accessible, lower cost More expensive, limited availability
