All About TMS

TMS treatment for OCD

TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.

It’s an option for treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), especially when other treatments haven’t worked.

Why TMS is a good treatment option for OCD

TMS is non-pharmaceutical
TMS directly stimulates the brain to achieve healing; it does not use medications (such as antidepressants) to achieve relief.

TMS is effective
TMS boasts high response and remission rates, even for patients with severe depression or diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression

TMS is covered by insurance
TMS is covered by most medical insurance as a covered benefit. Inland Empire TMS accepts most major commercial plans, TRICARE, and TriWest (Veteran’s) insurance plans.

TMS is long-lasting
TMS patients continue to maintain a beneficial response long after TMS therapy has finished. Patients do not have to remember to take daily medication

TMS has no systemic side effects
TMS is extremely well-tolerated. It is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia or numbing, and has no systemic side effects.

What are the symptoms of OCD?

OBSESSIONS
unwanted and distressing thoughts or urges that persistently occur in a person’s mind. Obsessions common to OCD include fear of germs and contamination, a need for symmetry and order, disturbing thoughts, or fear of harm or danger to oneself or to loved ones.

COMPULSIONS
repetitive behaviors that individuals with OCD feel compelled to perform. Failure to perform the behavior often induces high levels of anxiety, to the point of needing to go back and execute the routine properly. Compulsions include excessive handwashing or housecleaning, repetitive checking behavior (such as repeatedly checking door locks or household appliances), counting, touching objects, or arranging objects in a particular manner.
