On the basis of a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved clinical trial protocol, the study included 233 patients at 14 medical centers in the United States, 4 in Israel, 2 in Germany, and 1 in Canada.
All trial participants suffered from major depression and had previously failed to respond to therapeutic treatments or could not tolerate antidepressant medication owing to side effects.
Brainsway says it expects the study results will support its application for FDA approval to market its deep TMS system for the treatment of major depression in the United States.
