¿Qué es la EMT profunda (dTMS)?
How Deep TMS works
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation uses magnetic pulses delivered through a treatment helmet to stimulate brain circuits involved in mood and related symptoms. TMS of Austin offers BrainsWay Deep TMS as an outpatient option for depression and OCD after a clinical evaluation.
Is it suitable for me?
A clinician reviews your diagnosis, previous treatments, medications, medical history, and goals. Metal or implanted devices near the head and a history of seizures require careful screening. Anxiety symptoms associated with depression are different from a primary anxiety disorder; ask which condition your treatment plan addresses.
What treatment involves
You remain awake, and treatment usually does not require anesthesia. A course involves repeated visits; the schedule and session length depend on your prescribed protocol. Scalp discomfort or headache can occur, and seizure is a rare but serious risk. Your team will explain precautions and what to report.
Results and cost
Improvement varies, and some people do not respond. Your clinician monitors symptoms and discusses the next steps with you. Insurance coverage depends on your plan, diagnosis, prior treatment history, and authorization requirements. Ask the office for a personalized estimate before starting.
