BrainsWay Ltd. announced that its longstanding partner, Katie's Way Plus, which provides comprehensive mental health services tailored to the unique needs of active duty military members, veterans, and their families, has ordered an additional 10 Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS??) systems, which will more than double its existing offering. Depression is a contributing factor to suicide, which is a particularly pressing concern within the military community. September is Suicide Prevention Month, which helps raise awareness to the fact that 22 U.S. military veterans take their lives each dayi.

BrainsWay Deep TMS is delivered via a unique treatment coil housed in a cushioned, patient and provider-friendly met. The patient is awake, alert, and engaged during the treatment session, and each session only takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. For some patients, a shorter three-minute intermittent theta burst (iTBS) protocol is also an option.

Most candidates for Deep TMS depression treatment have already failed multiple courses of medication and talk therapy, and in a recently published post-marketing analysis of close to 1,400 patients, those patients who had received 30 or more treatments of Deep TMS demonstrated an 82% response rate and a 65% remission rateii.
