FDA Approves TMS for OCD and the TheraMind Center of Los Angeles Is Now Offering This FDA Approved Therapy
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) September 28, 2018 -- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is rapidly growing in popularity as a treatment for many neurological and mood disorders, and the cutting-edge medical technology recently reached another major milestone that should accelerate demand for the non-drug treatment option.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has now been approved by the FDA for treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, often referred to as OCD. The TheraMind Center of Los Angeles is now offering patients this newly FDA-approved therapy for OCD. Our L.A. center is one of the few locations in the United States which can offer this treatment using the Brainsway OCD system, which is currently the only FDA-approved device on the market. Our Medical Director, Dr. Alexander Bystritsky, a leading expert in anxiety disorders, was one of the principal clinical researchers involved in the Brainsway OCD clinical trials which were used by the FDA in granting its approval. TMS is now FDA approved for use in treating depression, migraines and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
“This is another exciting moment for everyone involved in TMS therapy, and provides additional validation for the effectiveness of TMS,” said Mark Heatwole, President of TheraMind Services, Inc. “We are delighted to be able to offer OCD sufferers this new therapy in our Los Angeles Center. This is an important step in the positive momentum toward making TMS a universally available treatment for those suffering from neurological and other mood disorders. ”
