What is TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar® TMS Therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. For depression, NeuroStar TMS targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), an area associated with mood that can be underactive in people with depression. NeuroStar TMS is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), including anxious depression, as well as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), providing a targeted treatment option without anesthesia, sedation, or systemic medication side effects.
Your TMS Therapy Experience
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, treatment history, and previous medication trials. If TMS is appropriate for you, your provider will develop an individualized treatment plan using NeuroStar® Advanced TMS Therapy. Before treatment begins, motor threshold mapping is used to determine the appropriate location and stimulation intensity for your individual treatment.
During Your Sessions
During each NeuroStar TMS session, a magnetic coil is positioned against your scalp to deliver focused magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. You remain awake and alert throughout treatment and can relax, listen to music, or speak with our team during your session. Treatment follows a structured schedule established by your provider based on your clinical needs.
Comfort and Safety
NeuroStar TMS is non-invasive, drug-free, and FDA-cleared. It does not require anesthesia or sedation. The most common side effects are temporary scalp discomfort or headache during or shortly after treatment, which typically lessen as treatment progresses.
Immediate Return to Activity
There is no recovery period or downtime after NeuroStar TMS. You can drive yourself to and from your appointments and return to work, school, or your usual daily activities immediately following treatment.
