A real-world study reported an 83% response rate. This means that 83% of patients that completed their NeuroStar treatment cycle saw measurable improvement in their depression symptoms.**12
The same real-world study reported a 62% remission rate. This means that 62% of patients that completed their NeuroStar treatment cycle likely wouldn’t be diagnosed with MDD if they were first being evaluated by their doctor.**12
By comparison, in a separate study not involving NeuroStar, for patients who have not found relief from 3 or more antidepressants, the chance of remission from subsequent medications is less than 7%.6,7,17,18
What is NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy?
Neurostar Advanced Therapy is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-drug treatment for major depression. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy uses focused magnetic pulses, similar to an MRI, to reignite dormant synapses in the brain and help your brain function the way it was meant to.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy is not a drug, “shock therapy”, or surgery. It is a safe, effective treatment for depression without the side effects of medication.
Non Invasive
Transcranial Magnetic Therapy (TMS) is a non-invasive, non-drug , safe and effective therapy that treats depression at the source.
Medication Free
TMS therapy is a drug-free treatment for depression. It uses magnetic pulses to target depression at its source in the brain.
No Side Effects
TMS therapy is not painful or disruptive, does not cause systemic side effects, and does not require hospitalization or anesthesia.
19 Minute Sessions
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is an outpatient treatment that takes as little as 19 minutes per session.
Is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy Right for Me?
NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy may be right for you if you agree with two or more:
- Depression symptoms have interfered with my daily life.
- I am not satisfied with the results I get from depression medication.
- I have had or worry about side effects from depression medications.
- I am interested in a proven, non-drug therapy for depression.
While depression medications work for many people, some people still do not feel relief. For hard to treat depression where medication is not giving you adequate relief, NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy is a proven and safe depression treatment option.
What are NeuroStar Treatments Like?

Before Treatment
You’ll recline comfortably in the treatment chair. A small, curved magnetic coil will be positioned lightly on your head.

Each treatment takes 19 minutes. You can resume normal activities immediately. Because there are no effects on alertness or memory, you can drive yourself to and from treatment sessions.
What Patients are Saying
"At first I thought that this treatment was just the “same old, same old.” In fact, it turned out to be a very relaxing time which I am now trying to duplicate at home as part of a regular morning routine. I always felt that the staff were there to support me completely through follow-up sessions and trying to make me comfortable. TMS exceeded my wildest expectations. Almost immediately the world looked bright and new. I so appreciate the opportunity to find a very different world and life."
"Truly this has been a heartwarming, special experience for me and I feel very grateful and lucky to be able to use my insurance for this treatment, but also to be welcomed by the wonderful community at Marriage & Family Services. I don’t know how much longer I could have gone on the way I was, nor could those around me, and this has been a true blessing in my life. My only regret is not finding them sooner or doing TMS way sooner."
"I was severely depressed over a period of three years. I tried several antidepressants but nothing really seemed to work. I had a severe allergic reaction. My family was very poorly impacted by the whole problem of my depression. By the end of the TMS treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that sixth week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume. It could actually get better and that I had more to look forward to."

Frequently Asked Questions
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is an innovative, FDA-cleared therapy that can help people who struggle with MDD even after taking antidepressant medication. It helps activate the natural function of the brain’s neurotransmitters using a non-invasive magnetic field, and is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).
The NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy system uses short pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate the area of the brain that is thought to function abnormally in patients with depression. The magnetic field produces an electric current in the brain that stimulates the brain cells (neurons). This results in changes that are thought to be beneficial in the treatment of depression.
Due to its innovative treatment and proven efficacy, NeuroStar TMS Therapy may be covered by your insurance health plan. Many insurance companies have established medical coverage policies for NeuroStar TMS Therapy. Over 300 million patients have insurance policies that cover NeuroStar TMS Therapy through their health plans.
NeuroStar® is non-systemic (does not circulate in the blood throughout the body), so it does not have side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc. The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were headache and scalp discomfort – generally mild to moderate – occurring less frequently after the first week of treatment.
No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of the magnetic fields used in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. These products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
