About Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
The first and only FDA Approved neurotherapy treatment for treating depression that does not require surgery or medication, and is safe and effective.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a safe, non-invasive outpatient therapy cleared by the FDA. It has helped thousands of patients with depression who haven’t responded to antidepressants. As the first and only FDA-approved neurotherapy for depression that doesn’t involve medication or surgery, TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain and restore function.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is:
- Non-invasive, meaning it doesn’t involve surgery, TMS requires no anesthesia or sedation. Patients remain fully awake and alert throughout the treatment.
- Non-systemic, meaning it isn’t taken orally and doesn’t travel through the bloodstream or affect the entire body.

FAQ’s About TMS Treatment
How does NeuroStar TMS work?
NeuroStar employs targeted magnetic pulses, comparable in strength to those of an MRI, to stimulate underactive brain areas responsible for mood regulation. When these areas are not active enough, it can lead to depression. Activating these regions can have a long-lasting impact on alleviating depression.
How long is TMS treatment?
An initial treatment course typically lasts between 19 to 37 minutes per session and extends over six weeks. Your TMS specialist will tailor the treatment to suit your individual needs.
Is TMS covered by insurance?
TMS is covered by most major insurance.
Does TMS work?
For individuals who haven’t achieved relief with antidepressants, TMS offers a safe and effective treatment for depression without the systemic side effects associated with medication. Among those who completed NeuroStar TMS therapy, 83% experienced noticeable relief from depression, and 62% achieved complete remission of their symptoms.
Is TMS painful?
The primary side effect of TMS is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment area, which typically diminishes for most patients within the first week of therapy.
Are there any restrictions on TMS?
TMS therapy may not be suitable for individuals with non-removable conductive metal in or near the head. Additionally, there is a rare risk of seizure for patients with a high genetic predisposition to seizures when using TMS.
