What Is TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, helping improve symptoms of depression. It is commonly recommended when antidepressant medications are ineffective, stop working, or when patients prefer a non-medication option.
Over 5.3 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 147,400 patients, with an 83% response rate
During the first week of NeuroStar treatment, mild to moderate discomfort near the treatment area may happen. It is temporary and should decrease during later treatments. Unlike ECT, TMS has no negative effects on memory, and requires just office visits, no anesthesia.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy for depression is covered by most insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare.

Non Invasive Procedure

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS device is a non-surgical procedure. No anesthesia is required.

What to Expect

Before starting TMS therapy, patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine if treatment is appropriate. This includes reviewing medical history, current symptoms, and previous treatments. No anesthesia or special preparation is required before sessions.

TMS therapy is a non-invasive procedure performed while you are seated comfortably. A magnetic coil is placed near the scalp to deliver targeted pulses that stimulate specific areas of the brain. Each session typically lasts 20–40 minutes, and patients remain awake and alert throughout.
There is no downtime after TMS therapy. Patients can return to normal daily activities, including driving, immediately after each session. Treatment is usually completed over several weeks, with gradual improvements in symptoms over time.

What TMS Can Do for You

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers targeted, non-invasive treatment for a wide range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Every treatment plan is personalized through a comprehensive clinical evaluation, allowing care to be tailored to each patient’s unique symptoms, medical history, and long-term goals. By focusing on individualized treatment, TMS provides a precise, evidence-based approach designed to support meaningful improvements in mental health, neurological function, and overall quality of life.

Anxiety

TMS may help reduce anxiety symptoms by targeting overactive brain circuits associated with stress and emotional regulation — offering a non-medication treatment option without the sedating side effects often linked to anxiety medications.

Tinnitus

For individuals living with persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears, TMS targets areas of the brain associated with auditory processing to help reduce neural overactivity linked to chronic tinnitus.

Cognitive Enhancement

TMS is being explored as a tool to support focus, memory, mental clarity, and cognitive performance by stimulating regions involved in attention, learning, and executive function.

ADHD

TMS may support attention, focus, and impulse control by stimulating the prefrontal cortex — offering a potential non-stimulant treatment option for adults managing ADHD symptoms.

Parkinson’s

TMS is being studied as a supportive therapy for Parkinson’s disease, with emerging research suggesting potential benefits for motor function, movement control, and overall quality of life.

PTSD

TMS provides a gentle, non-invasive approach for individuals with PTSD by targeting brain regions involved in trauma response, emotional regulation, and stress processing to support recovery and symptom relief.

Tremor

TMS is being investigated as a potential treatment for essential tremor and tremor associated with neurological conditions by helping regulate abnormal motor circuit activity in the brain.

Migraine

Single-pulse TMS has shown promise in interrupting migraine episodes and may help reduce the frequency and severity of chronic or treatment-resistant migraines.

Facial Pain

TMS may help relieve chronic facial pain conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, by calming overactive pain pathways within the brain and nervous system.

Fibromyalgia

For individuals living with fibromyalgia, TMS may help reduce widespread pain, fatigue, and sensitivity by modulating how the central nervous system processes pain signals.

Backed By Proven Research

During a NeuroStar Advanced Therapy 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. The result of these magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission achievable.

Trusted By Professionals

Since the FDA clearance of NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS in 2008, insurance coverage for eligible patients has increased significantly. Including most Medicare and Tricare plans nationwide. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy TMS is not a first line of treatment, it is an alternative option for those who are not responding to or cannot tolerate the side effects of medications.
