Unfortunately, as of right now only the deep coil developed by Brainsway reaches deep enough into the brain to be effective for OCD and even with that the research showed only 30% effectiveness. Skillful clinicians using Magventure and Cloud Neuro can use a different protocol and do a little better. Google OCD and TMS to find out the latest news on this promising technology, but as of yet is not quite there for the average provider.
It has been my experience that treating using standard location with standard approach can increase anxiety. Switching to the right side with low frequency can be helpful and research from Australia shows that right side 1 Hz was just as helpful as left side 10 Hz
OCD treatment using TMS was just approved by the FDA utilizing the Brainsway H7 coil that few people as of yet have. Soon a new and deep coil for other machines will be available.
