BrainsWay’s unique, patented H-Coil technology is held inside a cushioned helmet fitted onto the patient’s head. Upon activation, the H-coil produces magnetic pulses that regulate the brain’s neural activity.
BrainsWay’s Deep TMS sessions for depression last approximately 20 minutes, as opposed to 40-minute standard rTMS sessions. Alternatively, a 3-min intermittent theta burst (iTBS) session is also available. A Deep TMS treatment plan usually requires daily sessions over four weeks, followed by periodic maintenance sessions.
The following graphic details Deep TMS’s treatment protocol, with its Acute and Continuation phases:
An accelerated treatment option, called SWIFT™ Deep TMS, is also FDA-cleared, shortening the acute treatment phase from 4 weeks to 6 days. In this protocol, a patient completes five 10-min sessions, spaced at least 50-min apart, each day for 6 days, followed by a continuation phase. The following graphic details the SWIFT™ Deep TMS protocol, which has been demonstrated in clinical research to be as effective as the standard protocol:
