Overview: Our TMS Therapy procedure
MagVenture TMS Therapy® is especially designed for use in clinical practices. Once you and/or your staff have been trained by MagVenture, you are ready to offer the treatment to your patients suffering from major depressive disorder, OCD and/or addiction. Diagnosis and initial session is always performed by a licensed physician, regardless of protocol, whereas the remaining treatment sessions will typically be conducted by trained staff under the supervision of the physician.
MagVenture TMS Therapy is an easy to use system: position the patient, set the treatment protocol and press start. At any time it is possible to pause and resume the treatment. A MagVenture TMS Therapy system includes tools for accurate treatment spot determination.

Patients and technicians like the [MagVenture] system. It is first-line in the treatment of TMS for our patients. It works well and never breaks down.

Patient testimonial
I'd say two-thirds thru, it really was where my wife was noticing: "You seem lighter [...] less oppressed by it [...]" Piece by piece it was coming back. It felt like your brain was being repaired for whatever the glitch was. It really was a quantum leap [...] It worked. It genuinely worked.
Anders, former TMS patient
customer testimonial
I think there's been some major steps in psychiatry in my lifetime. Maybe one of the biggest revolutions has been TMS coming in [...]. This is such a revolution. And I think that the recent FDA approval of Theta Burst is going to be another big step. Because this is going to allow us to treat many more people.
