BrainsWay’s Deep TMS Shows Early Promise in Depression and Alzheimer’s Combo Study
Event summary
- BrainsWay’s Deep TMS™ pilot study reported 83.3% response rate and 50% remission rate in depressive symptoms for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
- Study observed measurable neurophysiological changes, including reduced delta power in the right temporal lobe and increased alpha coherence in brain connectivity.
- Researchers from Delray Center for Brain Science and Florida Atlantic University conducted the study with 12 patients using BrainsWay’s H1 and H7 Coils.
- Deep TMS is not FDA-cleared for Alzheimer’s disease treatment, requiring further controlled clinical research.
The big picture
BrainsWay’s pilot study results highlight the potential of Deep TMS to address a critical unmet need in treating depression comorbid with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease. The observed neurophysiological changes suggest the technology’s ability to modulate brain networks, positioning BrainsWay at the forefront of non-invasive neurostimulation treatments. The findings come as the mental health and neurology sectors increasingly focus on integrated solutions for co-occurring conditions, with Deep TMS emerging as a key player in this evolving landscape.
