TMS is available for adult patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and OCD. To take TMS, patients must have failed to improve from previous antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication treatment.
TMS therapy cannot be used on patients with metal implants in or around their heads, except for standard amalgam dental fillings. These metal implants include, but are not limited to: a pacemaker, cochlear implants, a deep brain stimulator, an implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a vagus nerve stimulator, metal aneurysm clips or coils, staples, or stents.
