NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy is a FDA-cleared, non-medicated treatment for those with Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Unlike medications, which affect the entire body as they pass through the blood-brain barrier, NeuroStar TMS therapy targets depression at the source. It works via magnetic pulses that induce electrical currents, stimulating neurons for a therapeutic effect.
NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy is FDA-cleared for people 15 years of age and older with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment.
Research indicates that 83% of patients experience at least a 50% reduction in depressive symptoms after treatment, with 62% achieving remission and nearly complete relief. In one study, 62.5% of those who saw improvement continued to see positive results or remained in remission a year later.
NeuroStar TMS is an FDA-cleared treatment option for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The OCD protocol has key technical differences than MDD protocol, including different pattern of stimulation targeting the medial prefrontal cortex.
Traditional antidepressants are believed to work by boosting serotonin and other neurotransmitters, which then influence glutamate—a brain chemical that helps regulate mood and depression. SPRAVATO® uses esketamine, and is thought to directly target the glutamate system, activating receptors that promote the formation of new pathways in the brain. Although SPRAVATO® is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and for alleviating depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder who experience suicidal thoughts or actions, researchers are actively studying its full impact.
SPRAVATO® esketamine nasal spray is FDA-approved for people with depression who have not experienced adequate improvement with antidepressant medications.
