What is NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?
NeuroStar TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an FDA-cleared treatment for the source of your depression – your brain. It uses focused magnetic pulses to reignite inactive synapses in your brain, leading to improved function. Mood regulation is intricately linked to certain areas in your brain, and ”waking” up these connections can have lasting positive effects and make long-term remission from depression a reality.

TMS involves using alternating magnetic energy to stimulate brain activity. As with any brain stimulation technology, there is a small risk of inducing a seizure. To date, TMS-related seizures have been reported in fewer than 500 cases out of nearly 6 million TMS sessions. The stimulation parameters used in the FDA-reviewed study did not result in any seizures. Other potential side effects include minor headaches, discomfort at the site of stimulation (forehead/scalp), and mild facial muscle twitching during treatment. These symptoms typically improve within a week, and only a small number of patients have discontinued treatment due to intolerable side effects. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS does not cause memory loss or confusion. While the TMS device can be loud, we recommend wearing earplugs or listening to music during your session. Overall, TMS is a safe, non-invasive alternative to antidepressants. Unlike medications and electroconvulsive therapy, which often have more significant side effects, TMS offers a path to healing without pain or negative consequences.
NeuroStar TMS treatment is typically covered by most major insurance providers for treating MDD and MDD with anxious depression. Our team provides a comprehensive cost quote before treatment begins, ensuring patients are fully informed about the expenses involved
