What Is Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation, or Deep TMS, is a non-invasive outpatient treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain networks involved in mood and behavior. At TMS Center Centennial, BrainsWay Deep TMS™ is delivered by certified technicians as part of a personalized care plan. Learn how this FDA-cleared technology may support people seeking another option when medication or therapy has not provided enough relief.

Depression Treatment

A personalized Deep TMS approach for major depression, particularly when antidepressants or psychotherapy have not provided sufficient symptom relief or daily-function improvement.

OCD Treatment

Deep TMS targets brain circuits associated with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. OCD protocol appointments generally take about 30 minutes in the office.

Clinical evaluation and evidence-based stimulation plans for people who continue experiencing depression after trying two or more antidepressant medications.

Accelerated Deep TMS

Swift Deep TMS™ provides multiple sessions over a shorter timeline for eligible patients, using the same FDA-cleared BrainsWay technology.

Understanding Deep TMS

A Non-Invasive Path Toward Relief

Deep TMS is performed while you sit comfortably in an outpatient setting. A fitted helmet containing BrainsWay’s H-Coil technology delivers brief magnetic pulses to targeted brain networks; no anesthesia, surgery, or recovery period is required. Sessions are individualized after clinical evaluation, and patients can typically return to regular activities immediately. Current prescriptions may often continue, with medication stability and any changes guided by the prescribing clinician.
