NeuroStar is a safe, effective non-drug depression treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI, to revitalize connections in an area of the brain involved in regulating mood. When these connections are reawakened, many people experience measurable relief from their depression.

TMS treatments typically occur daily and in person for 4-6 weeks. An initial MT (Motor Threshold) determination appointment determines what strength and location will be used for daily treatment. Daily treatments are administered by a qualified TMS Technician, but patients are supported through regular follow ups with their  phsycian.

Does it Hurt?

While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week of treatment. There is no sedation, or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.

A study of real-world outcomes reported 83% of patients undergoing TMS experienced notable relief of their depression, and 62%  reported their depression was in remission.*
