FAQ I have already tried different types of medication and had poor results – will Brainsway be any better? The FDA has found Brainsway’s treatment to be effective for patients with depression, regardless of how many medications were tried in the current episode of depression. Has Brainsway's technology been tested? Brainsway's Deep TMS Technology has been tested in over 60 clinical studies in leading institutions worldwide. The FDA has cleared this technology for clinical use and it is currently available in the U.S., Europe, and South America. Does Brainsway's treatment entail any side effects or risks? Brainsway's treatment has been proven safe and effective, and has no known long-term side effects and no systemic effects (effects deriving from medication entering the bloodstream and circulating throughout the body). The most common side effects are headaches and local discomfort, both usually temporary and mild. How does Brainsway's treatment compare with ECT? ECT is a treatment based on electrically induced seizures, whereas Brainsway's treatment stimulates brain regions using brief magnetic pulses similar to those used in MRI systems, without the use of seizures. ECT requires anesthesia and has severe side effects, including memory loss. Brainsway Deep TMS does not involve anesthesia, has no effects on memory, and is well-tolerated. What will I feel during the treatment session? Typically, patients hear a tapping sound and feel a tapping sensation in the head area during the 20 minutetreatment. To diminish the sound, the patient is provided with earplugs. For more information about the treatment, please contact the Deep TMS Center at 1855-200-DTMS. Is Brainsway's treatment for everyone? In general, the treatment should not be used if you have metal implants in or around the head (except for standard amalgam dental fillings). Please consult with your doctor to check whether the treatment is right for you or contact the Deep TMS Center at 1855-200-DTMS.

Have Antidepressants Failed to Work for You, Too? Brainsway's treatment launches a new era in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. It has many unique advantages over other treatments for depression. Antidepressants, for instance, fail to provide an adequate solution to many patients, and often entail harsh side effects, from nausea, insomnia and anxiety to weight gain and sexual dysfunction, leading many patients to neglect their medication regime.
