Understanding OCD Treatment with TMS in Kentucky

OCD involves hyperactivity in the cortico-striatal-thalamic circuit. Deep TMS targets the medial prefrontal cortex to modulate this circuit, reducing the intensity of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

TMS for ocd has been FDA-cleared since 2018. 42 TMS clinics are listed in Kentucky; ask each clinic whether it treats ocd and which insurance it accepts.

How TMS Treats OCD

TMS therapy targets the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) using BrainsWay Deep TMS with H7 coil. A magnetic coil placed against the scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region, promoting neuroplasticity over the course of treatment.

Treatment Protocol

• Sessions: 29 sessions over 6 weeks

• Devices commonly used: BrainsWay Deep TMS (H7 coil)
