Daniel Carlat, MD Editor-in-Chief, Publisher, The Carlat Report. Dr. Carlat has disclosed that he has no relevant relationships or financial interests in any commercial company pertaining to this educational activity.

So let’s say you’ve decided to take the TMS plunge. With three devices currently FDA cleared, you have some decisions to make. The following table brings together some information you might find useful. I focused on Neuronetics and Brainsway, with a blurb at the end about Magstim, the latest device to be approved. Material for this comparison came from various sources, including company websites and interviews with community practitioners. The TMS business is competitive and fast-moving, and companies often adjust pricing and improve products—so contact the manufacturers for updated info.
