What is NeuroStar® TMS?

TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, a non-drug treatment for major depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI, to revitalize dormant synapses in the brain and help your brain function the way it was meant to.

TMS therapy is a safe, FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), that’s been performed over 4.3 million times to date. For patients who have not found relief from antidepressants, TMS can help them re-engage with the world, and make life feel manageable again.

Is NeuroStar TMS like “shock” therapy?
NeuroStar is not ECT (or electroconvulsive ”shock” therapy). NeuroStar employs TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), which uses magnetic waves similar in strength to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). NeuroStar TMS is precise and focused, targeting treatment at the source of the depression: your brain. With Neurostar TMS you are fully awake and alert during treatment and may resume daily activities immediately afterwards. ECT, on the other hand, applies direct electrical current through the skull and into the brain rather than magnetic waves. Because ECT uses direct electrical current, it must be done under anesthesia. For more details, ask your doctor about the difference between TMS and ECT.
