Frequently Asked Questions

  • A vast majority of commercial and Medicare plans have recognized the effectiveness of treating depression with TMS Therapy and now cover TMS as part of their plans. See here for a full list of insurance plans that cover TMS.

  • TMS does not circulate in the blood throughout the body, so it does not have side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc. The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort —generally mild to moderate—occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.

  • No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for a therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of an MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells. The activation and stimulation of brain cells is a key part of why TMS is so effective.

  • A typical initial course of treatment is about 19-37 minutes daily over 4-6 weeks.

  • Major depressive disorder is a condition which lasts two or more weeks and interferes with an individual’s ability to carry out daily tasks and enjoy activities that previously brought pleasure. This condition affects approximately 16 million American adults, or about 6.7 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older.

  • The exact cause of depression is not known, but leading research in Neuroscience points to an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters as the manifestation of depression. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells. A person’s genetic make-up and life history may also determine her or his tendency to become depressed.

  • If you are experiencing four or more of the below symptoms and suffering from a depressed mood for more than a two-week period, you may want to seek medical help.

    • Significant weight loss (when not dieting) or weight gain (a change of more than five percent of body weight in a month)

    • Significant increase or decrease in appetite

    • Excessive sleepiness or insomnia

    • Agitation and restlessness

    • Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day

    • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive and inappropriate guilt nearly every day

    • Diminished ability to think, concentrate, or make decisions

    • Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode.  

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). 

Important Safety Information 

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary. 

The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site.
