NeuroStar: A New Hope
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy
NeuroStar TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is FDA-cleared and commonly used for major depressive disorder, particularly when other treatments have not been effective.
Unlike medications that affect the entire body, NeuroStar TMS therapy is localized. It focuses on specific regions of the brain associated with mood control, allowing for a targeted approach without introducing medication into the system.
How NeuroStar TMS Works
During treatment, a device with a magnetic coil is placed against the patient's scalp. This coil delivers repetitive magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and activate nerve cells in the brain. These pulses are similar in strength to those used in MRI technology and are designed to stimulate underactive areas linked to depression.
The goal is to improve brain activity in regions responsible for mood regulation. Over time, repeated stimulation may help restore more normal patterns of brain function and reduce symptoms of depression.
What Happens During a Session
Each treatment session is performed in a clinical setting and typically lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The patient remains awake and alert throughout the entire process. There is no need for anesthesia or sedation, and most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Patients may feel a tapping sensation on the scalp during the procedure, which is generally mild and tends to decrease as treatment continues.
20–40 Minutes
Each session is completed in a single office visit, fitting easily into your schedule.
Stay Awake
No anesthesia or sedation required. Patients remain fully alert during every session.
No Downtime
Return to your normal daily activities immediately after each treatment session.
