Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment for patients with psychiatric disorders mainly Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and Addiction. This therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain, promoting the release of neurotransmitters and restoring balance to the brain’s neural pathways.
Firstly, it is non-invasive, and patients do not require anesthesia or sedation.
Secondly, it does not involve medication, avoiding potential side effects.
Thirdly, it has been shown to be effective in treating patients who have not responded to traditional treatments such as medication and Psyschotherapy or Counselling.
Clinical trials have demonstrated that Deep TMS Therapy can improve mood, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and enhance cognitive function. It has also been shown to have a longer-lasting effect compared to traditional treatments.
Overall, Deep TMS Therapy provides a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option for patients with psychiatric disorders, offering new hope for those who have not responded to traditional therapies.
The most significant difference between Deep TMS and Traditional TMS is the depth of stimulation. As the name suggests, Deep TMS targets deeper brain structures than traditional TMS/rTMS. The coil used in Deep TMS is specifically designed to penetrate deeper into the brain, up to a depth of 6 cm, while the coil used in Older TMS only penetrates up to 2-3 cm.
Deep TMS and Traditional TMS also differ in the brain areas they target. Traditional/rTMS typically targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which is associated with depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric disorders. On the other hand, depending on the specific disorder being treated, Deep TMS can target a wider range of brain areas, including the prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and insula.
Another difference between Deep TMS and Traditional TMS is the duration of treatment. Deep TMS treatment sessions typically last for only 20 minutes, while rTMS sessions can last up to 40 minutes. The number of sessions required for each treatment may also differ between the two techniques.

The clinical efficacy of Deep TMS has been shown to be superior to that of Traditional/rTMS.
Through a helmet, Electromagnetic pulses are delivered to the target areas in the brain involved in mood regulation, control of obsessive thoughts, compulsions, addictive behaviour, etc. These pulses feel like a mild tapping on the scalp. The patient can comfortably sit in a chair, watch TV, and read a magazine, awake and alert during the treatment.
