About Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic, and oftentimes disabling disorder characterized by unwanted and distressing thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors that the individual feels driven to perform (compulsions).[1] Fig. 1 Obsessive–compulsive and related disorders. Obsessions are repetitive and persistent thoughts, images, impulses or urges that are intrusive and unwanted, and are commonly associated... Read more
Since the 1980s, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been used to study the nerve fibers that carry information about movements from the brain to the spinal cord and on to the muscles. In 2004, Chinese Taiwanese scholar Ying-Ju Huang first proposed the theta burst stimulation (TBS) model and proved that it is safe and can... Read more
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology. The time-varying pulsed magnetic field can penetrate the skull non-invasively, act on the central nervous system, generate induced currents, and cause a series of physiological and biochemical reactions, thereby affecting metabolism and neuronal excitability in the brain so that improve and treat mental and neurological diseases. The... Read more

In 2008, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(TMS) figure-8 coil for the treatment of depression, and in 2018, FDA approved the deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) H1 coil jointly developed by Yingchi and BrainsWay for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression. Two years later, the FDA approved the H1 coil for the... Read more
