Comprehensive Psychiatric Care is happy to offer the NeuroStar TMS Therapy® system for the treatment of depression.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy® is the first and only TMS Therapy® device cleared by the FDA for the treatment of patients who failed to benefit from prior
antidepressant treatment. (TMS stands for “transcranial magnetic stimulation.”)
NeuroStar TMS Therapy® is a non-systemic (does not circulate in the bloodstream throughout the body) and non-invasive (does not involve surgery) form of neuromodulation.
It stimulates nerve cells in an area of the brain that is linked to depression by delivering highly focused MRI-strength magnetic pulses. Patients being treated by NeuroStar TMS Therapy® do not require anesthesia or sedation and remain awake and alert. 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 4-6 weeks.
