Medical treatments for depression are usually centered around antidepressants that rely on the systems in your body to deliver relief. NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments go right to the source of depression—your brain.
There are specific areas in your brain that control mood. When synapses in those mood-regulating areas are underactive, connections are broken and depression can result. NeuroStar revitalizes those dormant synapses, “waking up” the brain to function as it was meant to.
Watch How it Works
How soon will you see results?
Many NeuroStar patients start to see improvement within 2 to 3 weeks of treatment. That can include changes in mood, fewer days of depression, and increased desire to engage with other people more often. In fact, your friends and family may notice your results before you do!
Completing the full NeuroStar treatment course gives the best chance for delivering long-lasting relief from depression.
As with any therapy, completion is key. Completing the full 6-week course of NeuroStar treatment gives the best chance for delivering long lasting relief from depression.
Over 5.6 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 156,000 patients.
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.
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.
Whereas the largest prospective clinical trial of major depressive disorder ever conducted, the STAR*D study, showed that likelihood of remission decreases with every subsequent medication.
NeuroStar is not a drug, “shock” therapy, or surgery. And it doesn’t have any of the common side effects associated with traditional antidepressants.
There is no sedation, anesthesia, or recovery time and for most people the NeuroStar treatment is relaxing. The most common side effect is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site that usually subsides within the first week of treatment.
NeuroStar works for people with treatment-resistant depression, and not just while you’re being treated.
NeuroStar is the only TMS treatment that has proven to be effective for a year.
TMS: Positive results with data to prove it
In trial after trial, the benefits reported by patients and doctors on NeuroStar TMS therapy show that NeuroStar is safe, effective, low-risk treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The compilation of these outcomes makes up the largest Outcome Registry in the world for any MDD treatment.
Meaning, NeuroStar is proven to be effective and safe—as shown by the clinical data of more than 65 studies.
With TMS Long-lasting Symptom Relief and Remission are Possible.
Clinical studies also showed a low discontinuation rate of only 5%.
**Outcomes Registry data was published by Sackeim HA, et al. J Affective Disorders, 2020, 277(12):65-74. The outcomes reported represent the subset of study patients for which the CGI-S data was reported before and after an acute course of NeuroStar TMS. Patients were treated under real-world conditions where patients may have been prescribed concomitant depression treatments including medications. “Measurable relief” was defined as a CGI-S score <=3 and “complete remission” was defined as a CGI-S score <=2 at the end of treatment.
Typically, you will be responsible for a co-pay at each NeuroStar treatment session. Out-of-pocket copay costs will vary depending on your insurance provider and plan.
NeuroStar also partners with organizations including CareCredit and Advance Care to provide financing options for patients whose treatment is not covered by insurance, as well as managing co-pays, deductibles, and full cash-pay.
We provide financing options for our treatments to make them more accessible. For Ketamine treatments, we offer financing through CareCredit, a healthcare credit card designed for health and wellness needs. For TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy, financing is available through the Advanced Care Card. These financing options can help manage the cost of treatment, making it easier for you to access the care you need.
