NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. During a TMS session, a device is placed on the scalp, which delivers magnetic pulses to the brain. These pulses create small electrical currents that stimulate the nerve cells in the targeted area of the brain.

Yes! It has an 83% response rate and 62% remission rate for major depression.

No. When administered correctly, there may be initial sensitivity to the scalp or mild headache only while treatment is being delivered, but has no lasting side effects and sensitivity decreases over time.

A vast majority of commercial and Medicare plans have recognized the effectiveness of treating depression with TMS Therapy and now cover TMS as part of their plans.

What to Expect

1

You’ll recline comfortably in the treatment chair. A small, curved magnetic coil will be carefully positioned lightly on your head.

2

NeuroStar delivers focused magnetic stimulation directly to the target areas of the brain. You’ll hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head. Each treatment takes between 19 and 37 minutes, depending on your doctor’s recommendation.

3

Since there are no effects on alertness or memory, you can drive yourself to and from treatment sessions. In-office treatment with NeuroStar TMS Therapy can be administered 5 days a week for approximately 4-6 weeks.

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode.

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy system is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary.

The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient).
