Hi
There is no better treatment than medicines & CBT for OCD, rTMS is definitely not a good choice.
Next Steps

Its very safe. You could give it a try but medicines are the first line treatment. Only rTMS will not help in OCD.
You could consider behavior therapy too.

It's a novel treatment. Though not much evidence for its efficacy in OCD.
