How NeuroStar TMS Therapy® Works In Treating Depression
NeuroStar TMS Therapy is precisely targeted at a key area of the brain thought to control mood. This area, called the prefrontal cortex, is known to be underactive in depression sufferers.
NeuroStar uses highly focused magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in this area, causing them to become active and release neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are the brains chemical messengers.
NeuroStar stimulates neurons in the prefrontal cortex to restore normal function and lift the symptoms of depression.
Indication
*NeuroStar TMS Therapy® is an FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment for patients with depression who have not benefitted from one prior antidepressant medication. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is available by prescription only. Only a doctor can help decide if NeuroStar TMS Therapy is right for you.
