Technology
NeuroStar® Is the TMS Innovation Leader NeuroStar is continually innovating for the sake of both your patients and practice, reducing the time it takes to get patients into and through treatment and getting more patients the help they need.
One Coil, Multiple Treatments — the Most Versatile Coil in TMS
Treat multiple diagnoses with no additional upgrades.
In addition to Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), NeuroStar TMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression with comorbid anxiety symptoms and as an adjunct therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in adults. NeuroStar was also the first TMS system to receive FDA clearance as a first-line, adjunct treatment for adolescent depression in patients ages 15 to 21.
With NeuroStar’s industry-leading technology, providers can deliver all FDA-cleared NeuroStar treatments using the same coil, with no additional upgrades or purchases required.
Right Dose, Right Location, Every Time
NeuroStar’s patented Contact Sensing system provides real-time feedback in three dimensions and delivers an alert if contact with the coil is compromised, ensuring your patients are receiving an accurate dosage at the right location, every time.2
Reduce MT Time by up to 40%2
NeuroStar is designed to help your practice treat patients efficiently. Our Motor Threshold (MT) innovations streamline MT determination so your team can work faster without sacrificing accuracy.
- MT Cap, Fast MT™, and D-Tect – Allowing a single clinician to determine MT faster than the usual time required by the traditional method — reducing how long patients spend in the chair and increasing the number of patients your practice can help a day.
- 3-D Laser-Guided Six Point Coordinate System – Assists your staff to support patient positioning so you can deliver precise,consistent, accurate treatments.
- SoftStart™ for Greater Patient Comfort – A gentle series of stepped pulses within each pulse train, gradually ramping up to the prescribed treatment level. This creates a more comfortable experience—especially for new patients.
TouchStar™ Theta Burst
A new way to dramatically reduce your patients’ treatment session times, TouchStar™ Theta Burst with Contact Sensing is a NeuroStar treatment protocol that involves higher-frequency pulses than our standard protocols. This results in treatment sessions being reduced to around 3 minutes.
NeuroStar TMS is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), MDD with comorbid anxiety symptoms, and adjunctive OCD treatment in adults — and is the first TMS system FDA-cleared as an adjunct treatment for adolescent depression (ages 15–21).
Because NeuroStar is built for the future, new treatment protocols are delivered through software updates, not new hardware purchases. That means:
• No added equipment
• No costly upgrades
• Immediate access to new capabilities as they’re cleared
Your investment continues to grow in value as NeuroStar expands what’s possible in TMS care.
