NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS is clinically proven to improve depression symptoms.
- Most patients with treatment-resistant depression have found TMS to be beneficial in real clinical practice settings.
- Almost three out of four patients who underwent 30 sessions achieved a clinical response, indicating a significant reduction in their symptoms of depression.
- Unlike antidepressant medication, TMS does not cause systemic side effects. Additionally, since TMS is a noninvasive treatment, it does not require hospitalization or anesthesia, and patients can resume their normal routine immediately after treatment.
- Usually, each session lasts only 20 minutes.

Many NeuroStar patients start to see improvement within 2 to 3 weeks of treatment. That can include changes in mood, fewer days of depression, and increased desire to engage with other people more often. In fact, your friends and family may notice your results before you do!

As with any therapy, completion is key. Completing the full 6-week course of NeuroStar treatment gives the best chance for delivering long lasting relief from depression.
