Deep TMS utilizes specially designed H–Coils to stimulate deep and broad cortical regions associated with depression. The standard FDA-cleared Deep TMS protocol involves one treatment session per day, five days a week for 4 weeks, followed by a maintenance period. However, there has been recent interest in “accelerated” dosing schedules which involve multiple sessions each day to allow for quicker overall treatment time. Data collected using this approach to treat depression was compiled from clinical sites and analyzed in this study. Key findings from this post-marketing study included:
- Accelerated Deep TMS led to an 80% response rate and a 51% remission rate across all dosing schedules, using the most rated scale (HDRS, MADRS, PHQ-9, BDI-II).
- There was no statistical difference in outcomes seen between the various accelerated dosing schedules, which varied between 2, 3, 5 or 10 Deep TMS sessions per day.
- Subjects undergoing protocols involving more than 2 sessions per day responded and/or remitted typically within 3-5 days, and the durability of treatment was substantial.

BrainsWay Deep TMS is not currently FDA-cleared for accelerated depression treatments. However, these preliminary results could be leveraged to support efforts to expand current labeling for Deep TMS.
