An FDA Cleared Option for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) can interfere with daily routines, relationships, and peace of mind. For some patients, medications and therapy alone are not enough to bring relief. TMS therapy for OCD offers another path forward, using FDA cleared technology to target the areas of the brain linked to intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
At Compassionate Psychiatric Services, our TMS centers in Frisco and Southlake provide advanced, non-invasive care in a supportive setting.
What Is TMS Therapy for OCD?
TMS uses short, repetitive magnetic pulses to stimulate the prefrontal cortex, the brain region involved in OCD. This stimulation helps regulate brain activity, reducing obsessions and compulsions over time.
Unlike ECT, TMS does not require anesthesia, does not affect memory, and allows you to resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
How TMS Fits Into OCD Treatment
TMS for OCD is most effective when used alongside other therapies, such as medication or cognitive behavioral therapy. Treatment is outpatient, meaning you remain awake and comfortable throughout each session.
Before each session, your psychiatrist or TMS specialist may work with you to briefly trigger your OCD symptoms. This approach, shown in clinical studies, can improve the effectiveness of treatment.
Results and Effectiveness
Clinical research shows that TMS for OCD can make a meaningful difference. Studies have reported a 38% response rate for patients who completed the full six week course, compared to 11% in those who received placebo. Continued follow up showed even stronger results for some patients.
Insurance Coverage and Support
TMS therapy for OCD is FDA cleared and covered by many major insurance providers. At Compassionate Psychiatric Services, our staff helps you navigate the insurance process, so you can focus on your treatment with confidence.
