Transmagnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS

WHAT IS TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, often referred to as TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when antidepressant medications haven’t been effective, have ceased working, or as an alternative to medication.

DOES TMS HURT?

The most common side effects for NeuroStar TMS reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort —generally mild to moderate—occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.

 IS TMS PROVEN?

For people who have not found relief from antidepressants, NeuroStar is a safe and proven alternative treatment for depression without the side effects of medication. Over 5 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 141,000 patients.
