TMS for OCD
Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for obsessive-compulsive disorder in eligible adults.
- FDA-cleared
- Non-invasive
- Medication-free
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be exhausting — a cycle of intrusive thoughts and the compulsions used to relieve them. In 2018, the FDA cleared a form of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) for OCD, giving people another evidence-based option when standard treatments have not been enough.
A different kind of relief
Deep TMS targets networks in the brain associated with OCD symptoms. It is non-invasive and is typically used alongside therapy such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), which remains a cornerstone of OCD care.

It uses a different coil and protocol that reaches deeper brain networks associated with OCD, and sessions often include a brief, personalized symptom provocation beforehand.
Will I still need therapy?
TMS works best as part of a broader plan. Many people continue exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy alongside treatment.
