BrainsWay Announces Publication of Three New Deep TMS Research Publications
New Articles Enhance Understanding of Deep TMS Safety Profile and Survey Addiction Research
BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, Aug. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders, today announced three recent publications highlighting its Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) in leading peer-reviewed medical journals.
Two of the publications enhance understanding of the safety profile of TMS. The first, published in Brain Stimulation, provides a concise overview of the adverse event profile of the H1, H4, and H7 Coils as studied in five (5) large, multicenter, randomized controlled trials (RCTs). It is the most transparent review on the safety record of a TMS device, and the only one of its kind published by a TMS manufacturer. The second, published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry and on Psychiatrist.com, provides practical recommendations on performing TMS on patients having metallic implants, a common contraindication for all forms of TMS.
The third, published in Brain Sciences, is a comprehensive review on the use of TMS to address smoking addiction, an existing indication supported by clinically proven efficacy, and potential indications including alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other substance use disorders (SUDs). BrainsWay Deep TMS™ for smoking addiction represents the only FDA-cleared TMS solution for any addiction. The publication highlights preliminary research of Deep TMS in various other addictions, and underscores the need for further randomized controlled clinical trials in these difficult-to-treat conditions.
“One of BrainsWay’s three pillars is ‘superior evidence,’ and we are committed to advancing the field of neuroscience through a greater understanding of this life-changing technology for mental health patients, their caregivers, and providers,” said Colleen Hanlon, Ph.D., BrainsWay’s Vice President of Medical Affairs and Director of Innovation. “The body of evidence supporting Deep TMS is unparalleled in depth and breadth, and we are excited to continue conducting research and analyzing existing datasets to provide our customer partners with informed science to best treat their patients.”
