Understanding OCD Treatment with TMS in Salt Lake City
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, making it a well-established treatment option. In Salt Lake City, Utah, 1 verified clinics offer this treatment with insurance coverage available through most major plans.
How TMS Treats OCD — The Science
TMS therapy targets the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) using BrainsWay Deep TMS with H7 coil. During each session, a magnetic coil placed against your scalp delivers focused pulses that stimulate neurons in this region. Over the course of treatment, this repeated stimulation promotes neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to form new neural connections and restore healthy patterns of activity.

A typical TMS course for ocd in Salt Lake City involves:
- Sessions: 29 sessions over 6 weeks
- Duration: 19-37 minutes per session depending on protocol
