                                            A Promising Approach for Tough-to-Treat Depression
For patients who haven’t responded to standard treatments, combining ketamine with Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) may offer new hope.
As Dr. Colleen Hanlon, BrainsWay’s VP of Global Medical Affairs, explained to Healio:
⚡ Ketamine can bring rapid relief, especially for acute symptoms.
🧠 Deep TMS™ builds lasting changes over time, with high response and remission rates that can last months.
Used in sequence — often starting with ketamine and followed by Deep TMS™ — the two treatments may work together to improve outcomes for patients with refractory depression.

                                        Transcranial magnetic stimulation and ketamine have been effective in treating depression. But when patients still struggle after using them individually, coordinated treatment offers promise, Colleen A. Hanlon, PhD, told Healio. “You can think of the brain as an organ that’s both chemic...
