TMS treatment for OCD

TMS treatment uses a repetitive magnetic pulse to calm the parts of the brain that cause the symptoms and behaviours of OCD.

The full treatment for OCD can need up to 30 sessions, which are split into two courses of fifteen sessions. These take place over three to six weeks, with some patients having more than one session in a day. Sessions won’t take any longer than 45 minutes each.

Research has shown that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can reduce the symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder.

TMS only treats the brain circuits involved in your condition, rather than flooding the brain with chemicals.

With no anaesthetic, no need for hospitalisation and no recovery time, it’s a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatments, with fewer side-effects than medication.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

We usually recommend an initial course of 15 treatment sessions to make sure TMS works for you.

Additional treatment is booked in courses of 15 sessions.

Dr Neal and his team understand the need to help out patients stay well beyond the end of their TMS treatment. Using research and our own experience, we have designed aftercare packages to provide ongoing care with a planned programme of regular top-up treatments.
