What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) by NeuroStar® is a safe, effective, non-drug depression treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to activate and revitalize connections in the area of the brain involved in regulating your mood. When these connections are reawakened, many people experience measurable relief from their depression.
Does it Work?
In a study of “real-world” outcomes (meaning actual NeuroStar® patients), 83% of people who completed the full treatment cycle experienced a measurable decrease in the severity of their depression, and 62% of those completing treatment saw full remission - meaning their depression effectively “went away”.
Does it hurt?
While there may be some minor discomfort 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 watch TV or talk with your treater during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.
Does insurance cover it?
Many insurance plans cover TMS. Conditions and coverage can vary by insurance company. We also offer cash-pay and patient financing options, if desired. Our Director will discuss this during the consultation.
