For those struggling with mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, or OCD, finding the right treatment can be a challenge. Medications can come with side effects, and talk therapy may not be enough. However, there is a treatment option that offers new hope: NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
NeuroStar TMS Therapy

What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?

NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive treatment method that involves the use of magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. The treatment is FDA-cleared and has been shown to be safe and effective for those with major depressive disorder. Here are a few ways NeuroStar TMS can help someone struggling with mental health:

  • It is non-invasive:

    NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive treatment method, meaning that it does not require surgery or anesthesia. The treatment involves sitting in a chair and having a coil placed on the head. The magnetic fields are then applied, targeting specific areas of the brain. The treatment does not require any downtime, allowing individuals to resume their normal activities immediately following the session.

  • It is safe and well-tolerated:

    NeuroStar TMS has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated in numerous clinical studies. Unlike medications, there are no systemic side effects associated with NeuroStar TMS. The most common side effect is temporary scalp discomfort, which typically resolves within the first few sessions.
    2

  • It is effective:

    Over 5.3 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 147,400 patients. In real world outcomes, 83% of patients experience an improvement in the severity of their depression, with 62% of patients showing complete remission.**1 Research shows response rates for medication decrease with every subsequent treatment.

  • It is personalized:

    At the beginning of the treatment, the NeuroStar TMS system maps the individual's brain to identify the specific areas that need to be targeted. This allows the treatment to be personalized to each individual's unique needs. Additionally, the treatment is delivered in a series of 36 sessions over 6-9 weeks, allowing the individual to gradually improve over time.

  • It can improve quality of life:

    Mental health concerns can impact every aspect of an individual's life. NeuroStar TMS can help improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and is an adjunct for OCD, leading to an overall improvement in quality of life. Many individuals who have undergone NeuroStar TMS report feeling more energized, motivated, and able to engage in activities they once enjoyed.

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 the 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).

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy should not be used with patients who have non-removable conductive metal in or near the head. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has not been studied in patients who have not received prior antidepressant treatment.
