TMS Therapy can fix hard-to-treat OCD.
The Advanced TMS Center is pleased to offer TMS therapy for OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a treatment that uses brief magnetic waves to stimulate parts of the brain to help reduce OCD symptoms.
TMS was first approved to treat major depressive disorders, and has also been approved by the FDA for OCD treatment. TMS therapy for OCD is a great option for people who don’t respond to traditional first-line treatments.
TMS is not the same as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and does not cause memory loss or damage to brain tissue.
Are You Looking for TMS Therapy for OCD in Ladera Ranch - Mission Viejo, CA
TMS therapy for OCD involves placing a helmet on a patient’s head and activating painless magnetic pulses (similar to an MRI, much lighter frequency) through a built-in coil in the helmet. The magnetic pulses stimulate specific areas in the brain that are affected by OCD.
Patients may feel a sensation like a gentle tapping on the head or mild headaches. As people get more treatments, they report fewer side effects.
