Risks and Side Effects

BrainsWay’s clinical trials have demonstrated Deep TMS to be safe and well tolerated for patients. The most common TMS side effects are temporary, mild headaches or discomfort at the treatment site. This typically occurs only within the first week of treatment. 

Serious side effects are rare. They may include:

  • Seizures

  • Mania, particularly in people with bipolar disorder

  • Hearing loss if there is inadequate ear protection during treatment
