About the Treatment
What Is TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is clinically proven to help patients with major depressive disorder who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medications.
FDA-Cleared Since 2008
The Process
How TMS Works
Targeted Stimulation
A small electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near the forehead. The device delivers magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in the region of the brain involved in mood control.
In-Office Sessions
Each treatment session lasts approximately 19–37 minutes. You remain awake and alert throughout — no anesthesia or sedation is required.
Course of Treatment
A typical TMS course consists of 36 sessions delivered over 9 weeks — 5 days per week for the first 6 weeks, then tapering. Your provider will tailor the schedule to your needs.
Resume Your Day
Because TMS is non-invasive and requires no sedation, you can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to normal activities immediately after each session.
