Depression is a treatable condition. But for some people, standard treatments aren’t effective. Repetitive TMS, such as NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy, may be used when medicines and talk therapy (psychotherapy) don’t provide enough relief. TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also cleared TMS for OCD. NeuroStar TMS is a safe and effective option to consider when other standard treatments haven’t worked.
Treatment Session:
While sitting in a comfortable chair, similar to a recliner, a technician or clinician will position the TMS coil (the device that delivers the magnetic pulses) on your head. The exact location will depend on the area being treated and your specific condition
The TMS device will emit magnetic pulses. These pulses are designed to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. You might hear a clicking or tapping sound during the treatment, which is normal and due to the magnetic pulses. You may feel a tapping or tingling sensation on your scalp.
A typical TMS session lasts about 20-30 minutes, depending on the protocol being used. During the session, you can read, listen to music, or just relax. After the session, you can resume your normal activities immediately. TMS doesn’t require downtime, so you can drive yourself home and continue with your daily routine. You may experience mild side effects such as headaches or scalp discomfort, but these usually resolve quickly.
Follow-Up:
You’ll likely have a follow-up appointment to discuss your response to the treatment, adjust the treatment parameters if needed, and address any side effects or concerns. The frequency and duration of the treatment course will vary based on your specific needs and the condition being treated.
Does it Work?
Yes! NeuroStar TMS therapy has been proven effective in clinical studies and real-world applications.
Here are some compelling NeuroStar statistics about patients with depression treated with NeuroStar (Sackeim HA, et al. (2020). J Affect Disord, 277:65 74.
Based on a real-world, retrospective study using CGI-S and a sample size of 615 patients):
- 83% of patients experienced significant symptom improvement.
- 62% of patients achieved complete remission from depression.
Gianan Health accepts the following insurance plans, which cover NeuroStar TMS for eligible candidates.

Understanding TMS Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is not only another treatment, it’s a breakthrough non-invasive therapy that harnesses magnetic fields to stimulate targeted nerve cells in the brain. This stimulation helps alleviate symptoms of major depression by activating the brain circuits involved in mood regulation.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recognized the effectiveness of TMS treatment not only for major depressive disorder but also for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This approval underscores TMS’s role as a validated, reliable option when other standard treatments, including medications and talk therapy, have not delivered the desired outcomes.
