TMS for OCD

For those living with OCD, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can take over daily life. If medications and therapy have not worked, or you feel like you have not made progress, TMS offers a new path forward.

​

At Integrative Psychiatry, we use NeuroStar TMS, an FDA-cleared treatment for OCD to target the specific brain circuits involved in obsessive-compulsive behavior.

How TMS Works for OCD

OCD symptoms are linked to hyperconnectivity in the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuit. NeuroStar TMS uses precisely guided magnetic pulses to modulate this network, helping reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive urges.

​

Treatment involves:

  • A mapping session to locate the anterior cingulate cortex

  • 5 sessions per week over several weeks

  • Gradual improvement tracked over time

OCD can be persistent, but studies show TMS can make a measurable difference:

​

  • 38% of patients saw a ≥30% reduction in Y-BOCS (Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale) scores after treatment

  • Over 50% of patients experienced meaningful improvement when completing the full NeuroStar OCD protocol

  • Minimal side effects, with no cognitive impairment or need for sedation

Supporting Adolescents with OCD

While official clearance is for adults, many providers, including our team, may consider TMS for younger patients in select cases, especially when traditional interventions are not effective. Every adolescent case is reviewed carefully to ensure the safest, most appropriate care.
