Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
How does NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) work?
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive. It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) or “shock therapy.”
Specific areas in your brain control mood. When synapses in those mood-regulating areas are underactive, connections are broken – resulting in OCD or depression.
NeuroStar revitalizes those dormant synapses, “waking up” the brain to function as it was meant to.
TMS Therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, long-lasting & accepted by most insurance.
What is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
During a NeuroStar 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.
TMS treatment at The Caring Center takes as little as 19 minutes per day. While completing the full 6-week course is key, some patients see improvements within 2-3 weeks.
A study of real-world outcomes reported an 83% measurable improvement in symptoms & a 62% remission rate.*
