Transcranial Magnetic

Stimulation (TMS) Overview

TMS uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate key areas of the brain that are underactive in patients with depression.

Facts about NeuroStar TMS Treatment:

  • It is an in-office treatment

  • Patients are awake and alert throughout the treatment

  • Patients can go back to their normal activities immediately after treatment

  • It takes approximately 20 minutes

  • Treatment is administered 5 days a week, for approximately 6 weeks


NeuroStar® clinical results and ongoing clinical trials:

NeuroStar TMS Therapy has the largest clinical data set of any TMS treatment. Clinical studies with over 900 patients have shown that NeuroStar TMS Therapy can help achieve remission for patients living with severe depression.

  • 1 in 2 patients experienced significant improvement

  • 1 in 3 patients achieved full remission

In an NIMH-funded, independent, randomized controlled trial, patients treated with TMS using the NeuroStar TMS System were four times more likely to achieve remission compared to patients receiving sham treatment.
