TMS THERAPY

What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?

NeuroStar uses focused magnetic pulses (similar in strength to an MRI), to revitalize underactive areas of the brain involved in regulating mood. When these regions are underactive, depression can result. “Waking up” these regions can have a lasting effect on depression, making long-term remission from depression a reality for many people.

Treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is easy:

• You can return to normal activities right away 

• You are awake during treatment

• There are no negative effects on memory or sleep

• It’s covered by most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare

Does It work?

For people who have not found relief with antidepressants, NeuroStar is a safe and proven depression treatment without the systemic side effects of medication. Over 4.8 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 134,000 patients.

Does It hurt?

Many patients experience side effects from their medication, increasing the chance that they will stop taking them. The most common side effect with NeuroStar is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site. For most patients this subsides within the first week of treatment.

Is TMS Covered by Insurance?

Most major insurances cover TMS Therapy nationwide.

What To Expect:

• Before Treatment 

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

•  During Treatment 

You’ll hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head as the NeuroStar coil focuses treatment precisely at the source of the depression: the brain. The patented Contact Sensing technology ensures the prescribed dose is delivered, every treatment, every pulse.

• After Treatment

With NeuroStar TMS you are fully awake and alert during treatment and may drive home and resume daily activities immediately afterwards. Depending on your doctor’s recommendation, a typical NeuroStar treatment plan includes 36 sessions that each last between 19-37 minutes. Completing the full NeuroStar treatment course gives the best chance for delivering long lasting relief from depression.
