What is NeuroStar TMS?
NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. During a TMS session, a device is placed on the scalp, which delivers magnetic pulses to the brain. These pulses create small electrical currents that stimulate the nerve cells in the targeted area of the brain.
Results of the TMS Procedure
Because TMS is still a relatively new treatment for depression, long-term results have not been determined. However, many patients who have undergone TMS, do find a decrease in the symptoms of depression after a few weeks of treatment. Patients who have suffered from depression for several years or who suffer from psychosis, may not be candidates for TMS treatments.
TMS works by stimulating specific regions of the brain that are associated with mental health conditions. By increasing activity in these regions, TMS can improve symptoms.
Treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is Easy:
- Therapy sessions are conducted in your NeuroStar doctor’s office.
- You can return to normal activities right away.
- You are awake during treatment.
- There are no negative effects on alertness.
The TMS process involves the use of magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. NeuroStar TMS can help support an improved mood. Many NeuroStar patients start to see improvement within 2 to 3 weeks of treatment.
