rTMS for OCD

rTMS FOR OCD

CNY Psychiatry offers repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for selected patients with difficult-to-treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Specific deep TMS systems and protocols have FDA clearance for OCD. CNY Psychiatry’s rTMS approach is different and is provided off-label, based upon the evolving published literature examining repetitive TMS approaches for OCD.

rTMS does not replace Exposure and Response Prevention or appropriate medication treatment. For selected patients whose symptoms remain substantially impairing despite established treatment, it may provide an additional option.
