Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an advanced neuromodulation technology that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the affected areas in the brain. MagVenture TMS Therapy® is an effective CE approved treatment option for patients suffering from major depressive disorder, OCD and Addiction (psychoactive substance use disorder (PSUD)). In addition, MagVenture TMS Therapy can reduce the symptoms of comorbid anxiety in patients suffering from major depressive disorder.
Watch this short video to learn more about what TMS is and how it works:
MagVenture TMS Therapy consists of repeated cycles of TMS followed by rest periods. Diagnosis and initial session is performed by a licensed physician. The remaining treatment sessions will typically be conducted by trained staff under the supervision of the physician. TMS is non-invasive and does not require any anesthesia and is not to be confused with Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). As there is no recovery period, people can immediately get back to their usual activities.

Caution: TMS treatment may not be effective or appropriate for all patients suffering from major depressive disorder, OCD or addiction. Even though TMS has very few side effects compared to antidepressants, additional side effects may occur. Treatment should only be carried out by a licensed physician or trained technicians supervised by physicians.
