What is TMS Therapy?
Changing Lives One Patient at a Time
TMS is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy, a non-drug treatment for major depression. TMS uses focused magnetic pulses, similar to an MRI, to reignite dormant synapses in the brain and help your brain function the way it was meant to.
It is not a drug, “shock” therapy, or surgery. It is a safe, effective treatment for MDD without the common side effects of medication.
*Only for ages 15+
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When starting TMS therapy, you can expect a comfortable, in-office experience guided by your provider. The treatment is quick and structured into regular sessions over 7-8 weeks, with each visit lasting under 30 minutes. While the device gently stimulates targeted areas of the brain, you remain awake and relaxed throughout. Once the session ends, you can get right back to your daily routine without any downtime or disruption.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
During a NeuroStar TMS session, you’ll sit comfortably while a small magnetic coil is placed on your head to deliver focused stimulation to specific brain areas. You may hear clicking and feel a light tapping sensation, but the treatment is noninvasive and typically lasts 18–24 minutes. Afterward, you can immediately return to your normal activities, including driving, with no impact on alertness or memory.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The cost of TMS therapy can vary depending on your insurance coverage. Many insurance providers recognize TMS as an effective treatment for depression and may offer partial or full coverage once eligibility requirements are met. Our team will work with you to review your benefits, explore financing options if needed, and provide guidance to make treatment as accessible as possible.
DISCLAIMER:
Adult Indications for Use
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).
Adolescent Indications for Use

Important Safety Information
The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient).
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy should not be used with patients who have non-removable conductive metal in or near the head. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has not been studied in patients who have not received prior antidepressant treatment.
