NeuroStar TMS in Raritan & Cedar Knolls, NJ
If you suffer from depression, you’ve probably tried medication, counseling, lifestyle modification, and other treatment solutions. You may have had some relief from depression symptoms, only to find the relief didn't last. It’s time to think of depression treatment differently.
It’s time to treat depression where it begins–in your brain. It’s time to learn more about a new treatment option called NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy.
What Is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy and How Does It Work?
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system that is primarily used for treatment-resistant depression. The system uses magnetic fields to promote neural activity in the cerebral cortex. NeuroStar uses an electromagnetic coil, a neurostimulator, (to generate the electrical stimulus for the coil), a cooling system, a positioning device, and software which controls the device. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy works to stimulate the areas of your brain which control mood and are under active in people with depression. Brain connections are reestablished, which increases brain function and mood.
Conditions Treated With NeuroStar TMS
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has been approved by the FDA for treatment of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. NeuroStar treatment is delivered in an outpatient setting, so there is no hospital stay. There is also minimal to no downtime with NeuroStar TMS, so you can get right back to enjoying your day. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has also been tested and approved by the FDA for treatment of depression and some other mental health conditions.
How Effective Is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy?
Over 5 million NeuroStar TMS treatments have been applied to over 147,000 patients. In a recent study, 83% of patients who completed a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy treatment regimen saw improvement in their depression. In this same study, 62% of patients wouldn’t be diagnosed with depression if they were first seen by their primary care provider.
