"Brainsway has developed a method for treating neurological and cognitive disorders by magnetic stimulation of the brain, with differing disorders treated by focusing on specific sites in the brain. The 64 patients tested in the latest trial had failed to respond to at least two antidepressant drugs. 95% of the participants responded to the Brainsway method and 45% showed a significant response. 40% of the patients in the trial were found to have regressed after treatment and a regression was seen in 50% of the patients after three months."

"The unique Deep TMS technology of Brainsway enables non-invasive excitation or inhibition of practically any brain structure, in any deep or cortical region. Thus, a broad range of brain disorders may potentially be treated with this technique. In principle, any brain-related disorder that is associated with pathological activity of a specific brain site may be treated by repeated stimulation with Deep TMS, by taking advantage of brain plasticity."
