Unlike antidepressant medications, which have to travel through your entire body, our treatment targets the source of depression in the brain, where it helps activate the natural function of the brain’s neurotransmitters using a noninvasive magnetic field.
NeuroStar is a safe, effective, non-drug depression treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI, to revitalize connections in an area of the brain involved in regulating your mood. When these connections are reawakened, many people experience measurable relief from their depression.
In a study of “real-world” outcomes (meaning actual NeuroStar patients), 83% of people who completed the full NeuroStar 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.”
While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week or treatment. There is no sedation, or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.
Over 300 million people have insurance plans that cover NeuroStar, including Medicare and Tricare. Conditions and coverage can vary by insurance company, and your NeuroStar Team Lead will help you determine your benefits and coverage. We also offer cash-pay and patient financing options if desired, talk with your NeuroStar representative for more details.
The thousands of people who have benefitted from Neurostar Advanced Therapy were once in the same position you are today. After choosing TMS Therapy, their lives were transformed. Their stories may help you decide if Neurostar Advanced Therapy could be right for you.
If you suffer from depression and have already tried antidepressant medications but aren’t happy with the results, you may not know where to turn next. Three out of five patients suffering from depression are currently underserved by their antidepressant medications or have not found a medication that has helped them find lasting remission.
