Detailed explanation-1: -BrainsWay TMS device does deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS). Deep TMS uses a specially designed “H-shaped” coil which is housed inside a helmet. This design is intended to deliver stimulation deeper in the brain, hence deep TMS.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the release of the NeuroStar, additional TMS devices have gained FDA approval for depression treatment including: Apollo, Bransway Deep, CloudTMS, Magstim, MagVenture, Neurostar, and Nexstim. Unfortunately, little research has been done to compare these devices and their clinical effectiveness.
Detailed explanation-3: -TMS is a noninvasive technological breakthrough that involves applying a series of short magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in areas of brain known to be associated with major depression. The treatment for depression is sometimes called repetitive TMS (rTMS) because repetitive magnetic pulses are delivered.
Detailed explanation-4: -The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) provides a unique means of manipulating ongoing processes within the brain, and observing the consequences on electrophysiology or participant behaviour1, 2, 3.
