What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
 
The NeuroStar TMS Therapy system is the first and only TMS Therapy® device cleared by the FDA for non-medication treatment of depression. TMS Therapy is non-systemic (does not circulate in the bloodstream throughout the body) and non-invasive (does not involve surgery). TMS Therapy involves the use of very short pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. First used in 1985, TMS Therapy has beenused by researchers around the world to help understand the function of different parts of the brain. Special sequences of repetitive TMS Therapy have been tested by Neuronetics to determine its safety and efficacy for the treatment of major depression. Neuronetics' pivotal trial is not the first to investigate the potential anti depressant effects of TMS Therapy. Early results from other trials have encouraged researchers to further investigate TMS Therapy as a treatment for major depression.  TMS Therapy does not require anesthesia or sedation so patients remain awake and alert during treatment.  It is a 40-minute outpatient procedure that is prescribed by a psychiatrist and performed in a psychiatrist's office. The treatment is typically administered daily for four weeks.
