Your brain is unique. Your treatment should be too. We tailor every Deep TMS protocol to your specific condition, symptoms, and goals — using the right coil, the right target, and the right pace for you.
Modern neuroscience has shown that mental health conditions are not the result of dysfunction in one isolated brain region. Rather, they involve imbalances across interconnected brain networks — the Central Executive Network, the Default Mode Network, and the Salience Network. That is why a one-size-fits-all treatment approach often falls short.
At Chrysalis TMS Institute, we believe your treatment should be as individual as your brain. We personalize every protocol based on your diagnosis, symptom severity, treatment history, and lifestyle — ensuring the right coil, the right target, and the right pace for your recovery.
We offer multiple FDA-cleared protocols, each designed around a specific condition and brain target. Your psychiatrist will recommend the best fit for your symptoms and history.
The foundational Deep TMS protocol: daily sessions over approximately four weeks, followed by biweekly continuation sessions. Ideal for patients who prefer a steady, gradual approach and can commit to regular daily visits during the acute phase.
FDA-cleared accelerated option: five sessions per day for 6 days, each under 10 minutes, followed by weekly continuation. Clinical data showed comparable outcomes to the standard protocol with a median time to remission of just 21 days.
Uses the H7 Coil to target the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex. Each session includes a brief personalized provocation tailored to your obsessions, followed by 18 minutes of stimulation — designed to break the OCD cycle at its source.
First-generation figure-8 TMS coils stimulate only a small, superficial area of the brain. BrainsWay’s patented H-Coil design penetrates up to 2.5× deeper and stimulates a broader volume of tissue — reaching the interconnected networks that shape mood, thought, and behavior.
Function: Working memory, decision-making, attention control
Clinical relevance: Often underactive in depression; targeted by the H1 Coil for depression and anxiety protocols.
Function: Self-reflection, rumination, daydreaming
Clinical relevance: Overactive in depression, anxiety, and OCD; rebalanced by Deep TMS network-wide stimulation.
Function: Emotional awareness, switching between internal and external focus
Clinical relevance: Dysregulated in depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction; stabilized by targeted stimulation.
Your operator selects and fits the appropriate cushioned helmet (MDD or OCD) and adjusts the flexible H-coil base to your head shape for optimal alignment.
For OCD, a brief personalized provocation activates your specific symptom circuits before stimulation begins. For depression, the DLPFC is targeted directly with magnetic pulses.
You are seated in a comfortable chair, free to read, speak, or use your phone. Sessions range from 10–20 minutes depending on your protocol. No anesthesia. No downtime.
Your psychiatrist monitors your progress throughout the acute and continuation phases, adjusting the protocol if needed to maximize your response.
We review your history, current symptoms, and previous treatments. A formal diagnosis of MDD or OCD (and prior antidepressant trial) is confirmed before starting.
Your psychiatrist selects the appropriate coil, brain target, and protocol (standard or accelerated) based on your condition, schedule, and clinical profile.
Daily sessions over 4–6 weeks (standard) or 6 days (accelerated). Many patients begin to notice improvement within the first 2–3 weeks.
Biweekly sessions help consolidate gains and sustain recovery. For some patients, periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended longer-term.
