BrainsWay TMS – Safe and Effective All Around

BrainsWay TMS Therapy is free of systemic side effects. It can be easily tolerated by the body and is safe for patients who do not experience satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication.

Depression is a serious condition that robs all the joy and satisfaction from daily life. Everything from sleep and appetite to concentration and self-esteem goes for a toss. Diagnosing the symptoms and providing appropriate treatment becomes crucial.

The customary therapy for depression is counseling followed by antidepressant medications. However, the latter often fail to yield the desired results even while the patient suffers from unwanted side effects.

In such situations, alternative forms of treatment - using medical devices such as at BrainsWay TMS locations – are considered favorable.

In fact, BrainsWay’s Deep TMS has emerged as a proven method to treat major depressive disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. It uses short magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain so as to create a positive effect on the neurotransmitter levels.

This is a non-invasive and non-medication system that is considered safe and easy to tolerate with almost no side effects during or after the treatment. All that the patient feels is a tapping or knocking sensation during the treatment.

Though some people do complain of mild discomfort or pain at the treatment site or around the jaw area, it can usually be resolved by adjusting the helmet. In any case, the sensation is temporary and disappears after a couple of sessions. In very rare cases, a patient experiences muscle twitch, tooth pain or other facial pain.

More than 1.6 million treatments have been performed with BrainsWay. More than 50% of patients have had a drastic reduction in symptoms and 1 out of 3 people experience complete remission from their depression. However, the patient (and their family members) should stay vigilant and notify the doctor in case of any worsening in the depression symptoms.

Finally, the therapy should always be administered by a licensed therapist only. The locator on the TMS Center Centennial website, https://tmscentercentennial.com will help in finding Brainsway TMS locations nearby.
