Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and non-drug procedure that works to treat mental health conditions right at the level of your brain. While medication works to regulate your brain from the inside out, TMS works to regulate your brain from the outside in.
TMS works by stimulating specific regions of the brain with controlled, gentle electromagnetic pulses. These pulses generate electrical currents that safely activate the neurons, or brain cells, in the areas of your brain that regulate and control mood, behavior, and emotion, such as your prefrontal cortex. These are also the brain areas that are most impacted in patients who experience depression and other mental health challenges.
TMS treatment happens over several sessions to stimulate your brain multiple times. The stimulation helps your brain reorganize and create new connections, known as neuroplasticity. In people with depression and other mental health concerns, certain brain areas often have unusual activity or connections, which causes their mental health symptoms. TMS adjusts and stimulates these areas to improve how your brain works, reducing depression symptoms and boosting your mood and overall well-being. As treatment progresses, your brain gets better at regulating itself even without ongoing therapy, which can lead to lasting improvements in mental health.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is backed by clinical research that proves its high-quality results. Here are some of the key findings discovered in 65 clinical trials, on over 100,000 patients consisting of almost 6 million NeuroStar treatments:
Compared to medication, NeuroStar is far more tolerable for patients and can be a much more effective treatment option for patients who are unsuccessful with their medication.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy can be a safer and gentler treatment alternative for your mental health, especially if you are an adolescent or adult over the age of 15 with clinical depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anxious depression.
