During a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.
Since the FDA clearance of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS in 2008, insurance coverage for eligible patients has increased significantly. Currently, there are over 60 coverage polices for NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS, including most Medicare contractors. Although NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS is not a first line of treatment, it is an alternative option for those who are not responding to or cannot tolerate medications.

I was feeling so hopeless and numb from only being treated by talk therapy and medication. Neurostar TMS rebooted my brain in ways that my other treatments could [then] work to help with my depression.
Neurostar TMS was the only thing that worked and it worked really well. Six months later, and I am still feeling good. It has been a lifesaver.
It has given me the strength to face the problems in my life. Now that I can face those problems, I’ve learned how to let them go.
