You're not alone - and you're not out of options
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects millions of people worldwide. If you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or rituals that interfere with your life, Smart TMS can help you.
At Smart TMS, we offer an alternative for those who haven’t found relief through medication or therapy alone. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge treatment backed by science and increasingly recommended by both NHS guidelines and private insurers.
What is TMS for OCD?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses targeted magnetic pulses to calm the overactive areas of the brain responsible for OCD symptoms — particularly those linked to anxiety, fear, and compulsive behaviours.
TMS for OCD is:
✓ Medication-free & talk-free
✓ Fast-acting with long-term effects
✓ Backed by clinical research
✓ No hospitalisation needed
Each session takes under 45 minutes. A typical course includes 30 sessions over 3–6 weeks, with some patients having more than one session a day.

The science behind TMS for OCD
According to research, TMS for OCD significantly reduces symptoms by regulating brain activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the pre-supplementary motor area and the right orbitofrontal cortex — the regions associated with obsession and compulsion.
Scientific Support for TMS in Treating OCD
✓ A major clinical trial found that TMS significantly reduced OCD symptoms and led to FDA approval.
✓ Earlier research discovered that targeting specific brain areas with TMS can safely ease OCD symptoms.
At Smart TMS, 60% of patients with treatment-resistant OCD respond to TMS and many experience improvements within weeks.
