How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work?
During each session, a magnetic coil is gently placed on your head, targeting areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. These pulses stimulate nerve cells, which may positively impact neurotransmitter levels, improving symptoms of depression and anxiety. Sessions typically last between 19-37 minutes and are conducted 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks. Patients can resume normal activities immediately after each session.
Who Can Benefit from NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
This therapy is designed for adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not achieved satisfactory results with previous antidepressant medications. NeuroStar is also an adjunct treatment option for patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

FAQ
NeuroStar is a non-invasive FDA-cleared therapy that uses short magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain that controls mood.1,12,15 These pulses can have a lasting effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, helping people suffering from depression, anxiety symptoms in those with depression, and OCD achieve response and in some cases long-term remission from depression symptoms.5,8,12,15,20,22 Because NeuroStar is not a drug, it doesn’t cause the side effects that are often associated with antidepressants.9
NeuroStar is a non-drug and non-invasive treatment for depression, anxiety symptoms associated with depression and OCD delivered in a doctor’s office. You recline comfortably in a NeuroStar chair (much like a dentist’s chair or spa chair) during treatment. During a treatment session, precisely targeted magnetic pulses stimulate the mood-regulating areas in the brain.12,15 There is no anesthesia or sedation. You are fully awake and alert during treatment, and you can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment session.
If you suffer from depression, anxiety symptoms associated with depression, or OCD but have not benefitted 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. See if NeuroStar may be right for you.
