Herzog Medical Center is a pioneer in Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) in Israel. This advanced treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate deep brain structures associated with mood regulation and neurological function.
Using a specially designed helmet developed by Israeli medical device company Brainsway, Deep TMS has received FDA approval in the U.S., CE certification in Europe, and is now part of Israel’s national healthcare drug basket for major depression.
Who Is It For?
Deep TMS is designed for patients struggling with:
-
Major depressive disorder
