Patients Are Searching for a New Standard of Care

Perhaps most compelling, a recent study of 500 depression patients showed that 67% of patients with MDD aren’t happy with their current treatment and quality of life and are actively searching for new treatment solutions.

For patients who haven’t found relief from antidepressants, trying another medication may not be the answe

How TMS Works

Targeting Depression at Its Source

Medical treatments for depression typically rely on medications that work throughout your body's systems. NeuroStar TMS goes directly to the source: your brain.

Specific brain regions control mood regulation. When neural connections in these areas become underactive, communication breaks down, and depression can result. NeuroStar TMS revitalizes dormant synapses, helping restore the brain's natural function.

The Science Behind TMS

TMS uses focused electromagnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain responsible for mood.

With consistent treatment sessions, many patients experience:

  • Improved brain activity and connectivity
  • Reduced depressive or obsessive-compulsive symptoms
  • Better daily functioning and overall quality of life

Treating Depression
Where it Starts

Medical treatments for depression are usually centered around antidepressants that rely on the systems in your body to deliver relief. NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments go right to the source of depression—your brain.

There are specific areas in your brain that control mood. When synapses in those mood-regulating areas are underactive, connections are broken and depression can result. 14,15 NeuroStar revitalizes those dormant synapses, “waking up” the brain to function as it was meant to.

67% of patients with major depressive disorder report dissatisfaction with their current treatment and quality of life. Many are actively searching for new solutions. If you've tried antidepressants without adequate relief, trying another medication may not be the answer. TMS therapy offers a clinically proven alternative.

You may be a candidate for TMS if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with MDD, OCD, or anxious depression
  • Have not achieved sufficient relief from medications
  • Are looking for a non-medication treatment option
  • Want to avoid systemic side effects of antidepressants

Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical studies demonstrate that TMS therapy is effective for many patients with treatment-resistant depression. In clinical trials, patients treated with NeuroStar TMS showed significant improvement in depression symptoms. Many patients experience lasting relief even after completing their treatment course. Individual results vary based on your specific condition and treatment response.

TMS might be used as an alternative treatment, or to augment pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy. Patients who have failed to achieve an adequate response from pharmacotherapy or who are unable to tolerate medications might consider TMS therapy.

If you suffer from depression, anxiety symptoms associated with depression, or OCD but have not benefited from your current medications—or are not happy with their side effects—NeuroStar Advanced Therapy may be right for you. NeuroStar may also be a good choice if you have tried switching medications for depression but have still not found remission from your symptoms.

During treatment, you'll feel a tapping sensation on your scalp where the magnetic coil is positioned. Most patients describe it as tolerable and adjust to the sensation within the first few sessions. Some patients experience mild scalp discomfort during or after treatment, which typically decreases over time. The treatment is non-invasive and requires no sedation.

Response time varies by individual. Some patients notice improvement within the first few weeks of treatment, while others may see gradual improvement throughout the full treatment course. Most patients complete a 4-6 week treatment protocol consisting of daily sessions. Your provider will monitor your progress throughout treatment and adjust the protocol as needed.

TMS has minimal restrictions. You can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to normal activities immediately after each session. There are no dietary restrictions or activity limitations. However, TMS is not appropriate for patients with certain metallic implants in or near the head, such as cochlear implants, aneurysm clips, or certain medical devices. Your provider will review your medical history to ensure TMS is safe for you.

Most major insurance plans, including Medicare, cover TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression when medical necessity criteria are met. Our team will verify your specific benefits and handle the prior authorization process. We provide transparent information about coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before you begin treatment.
