Mindset TMS in Greeley offers TMS therapy, an innovative treatment for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This non-invasive procedure uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions to relieve symptoms without medication or surgery. An entire course of TMS treatment involves daily sessions over 4-6 weeks. Our team guides each patient on their unique path to recovery, helping them improve their mental wellness.
TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-invasive treatment for OCD. During TMS, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the patient’s head. This device painlessly delivers magnetic pulses that stimulate areas of the brain that regulate mood. A typical course of such treatment involves daily sessions lasting around 20 minutes each over 4-6 weeks. TMS aims to provide symptom relief without surgery or medication.
Involves delivering just one magnetic pulse to the brain. This approach is used for diagnostic purposes to measure neurological reactivity and can be utilized to determine the intensity of stimulation for TMS treatment protocols.
This therapy aims to modulate brain circuits to improve mental health symptoms. In rTMS, a series of rapid magnetic stimulations are delivered, usually targeting a specific brain region. Our treatment plans involve daily rTMS (5 days per week) sessions over 6-9 weeks. Repetitive stimulations may help modulate brain networks involved in depression, anxiety, and OCD to help normalize brain functioning and resolve symptoms.
TBS is a newer form of rTMS that is gaining popularity due to its high effectiveness and shorter sessions (approximately 3 minutes). TBS delivers patterned pulses that mimic naturally occurring brain rhythms. This treatment can increase excitability in targeted brain regions associated with certain mental health conditions. It may strengthen weaker circuits and normalize functioning.
Deep TMS is a form of Repetitive TMS that utilizes innovative equipment to stimulate deeper brain regions. By utilizing a specialized TMS coil, magnetic pulses can reach areas in the brain to modulate brain networks associated with OCD. Targeting these deeper brain circuits is the key to reducing OCD symptoms. Deep TMS may also be utilized to treat depression.
Before beginning TMS treatment for OCD, a consultation is scheduled to determine whether this therapy is suitable for the patient. Dr. Peralta will perform a comprehensive assessment and will review symptoms, rating scales, and medical history to see if TMS is appropriate.
During the consultation appointment, the entire treatment process as well as potential risks, benefits and alternative treatments will be explained to ensure patients are fully informed.
The recovery process after undergoing TMS treatment for OCD can vary from person to person. Symptom improvement is typically gradual over treatment. Patients may note a reduced frequency of intrusive and obsessive thoughts as well as an improved ability to manage these symptoms when and if they occur
The length and durability of TMS results may differ among patients with OCD. Some maintain complete remission for months, while others may relapse and require maintenance TMS sessions. Factors such as the severity of OCD and duration of illness may impact response and durability of effects. Additional treatments in combination with TMS, including Exposure Therapy and medications for OCD, may be of additional benefit.
Working closely with Dr. Peralta is essential to monitor progress and determine if additional TMS treatment is needed to achieve longer-lasting relief from mental health symptoms.

Candidates for TMS therapy for OCD:
The optimal candidates are those with treatment-resistant OCD who have failed at least one trial of a standard OCD medication at an adequate dose and duration. TMS offers new hope for such patients. However, we must carefully evaluate each person to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment.
TMS is effective at reducing the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder in many patients. By delivering focused magnetic pulses, this therapy can help to calm the overactive brain activity that contributes to obsessions and compulsions. Patients who undergo a course of TMS treatment often experience reductions in many symptoms, such as repeated checking behaviors, extreme anxiety about contamination, and obsessive thoughts.
One of the significant benefits of our OCD therapy is that it is very well tolerated, with minimal side effects. Compared to medications, or other traditional treatments, TMS is a very targeted and focal treatment. The most common side effect is a tapping sensation at the treatment site. No anesthesia or sedation is required. Patients remain awake and alert during the treatment and can resume normal activities right after treatment.
TMS is a non-invasive therapy that does not involve surgical procedures or medical devices implanted in the body. It stimulates the brain externally using magnetic fields that penetrate the skull. The non-invasive nature of our treatment reduces risks and side effects.
TMS has demonstrated promising results for treating a variety of mental health symptoms. These include mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, tobacco use disorders and OCD. TMS can help to reduce symptoms by stimulating critical brain regions and modulating brain circuits.
TMS therapy can improve the quality of life for people suffering from OCD. People experience less anxiety, fear, doubt, and improved ability to manage intrusive thoughts, allowing them to function better at work, school and in relationships. With relief from OCD symptoms, many activities and life milestones become more achievable.
