?Exciting News!????? Our research on improving social cognition in Down Syndrome and the risk early-onset Alzheimer’s using TMS was accepted for presentation at the Clinical TMS Society Annual Meeting (CTMSS). Looking forward to sharing our findings with the TMS community! This case study explores how Deep TMS may support cognitive function, social cognition, and mood regulation in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. We are honored to share this research with the TMS community and continue advancing the field of neuromodulation and cognitive health. #NovusTMS #neurology #neuroscience #dementia #tuscaloosa #alabama #neuromodulation #mildcognitiveimpairment #cognitivehealth #TMSresearch #CTMSS2025 BrainsWay Clinical TMS Society

We are excited to actively be enrolling in a new study where we have partnered with BrainsWay! Dr. Timothy Prestley, MD, neurologist/CMO at Novus, is the Principal Investigator for our site, along with Dr. Aftab M. Khan, MD, as our Lead Psychiatrist, and Mallory C. Bates, BSc, our Clinical Researcher. We are proud of our team and partnership! About the Study The BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) device is intended for the treatment of depressive episodes in patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The aim of the trial is to demonstrate that the investigational new stimulation protocol is non-inferior to the current standard-of-care stimulation protocol, in a randomized, controlled study. Study Design Subjects will be randomized to one of two groups (the investigational stimulation protocol or the FDA-cleared standard-of-care deep TMS protocol) in a 1:1 ratio. The participants will know which group they are assigned to, but the study investigators and raters will be blinded. Both treatment groups receive active TMS at no cost. The Brainsway Deep TMS Device will be utilized for both the investigational stimulation group and the standard-of-care stimulation group. Participant Eligibility Study participants must: Be between 22 and 68 years of age. Have a primary DSM-5 diagnosis of Major Depression Have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 antidepressant trials in the current episode Study participants must not: Endorse any previous or current psychotic or bipolar disorder. Have an active alcohol or substance use disorder. Have a current diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. Possess ferromagnetic metals implanted in the head or neck. Be pregnant or breastfeeding. Have a personal or family history of seizures, not including febrile or ECT-induced seizures.
