At Lakeview TMS Center, we offer NeuroStar® Advanced TMS Therapy, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain networks involved in mood regulation and is clinically proven to improve symptoms in patients who have not responded to antidepressant medications—without the common side effects associated with medication.
In case of inclement winter weather our office may be closed. If you have a consultation, this will be done virtually.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
“Such a blessing for me and everyone who loves me to see improvements start here, and I am still getting better! For me, it has been an answer to prayers!”
“By the end of the TMS treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that sixth week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume.”
Adult Indications for Use:
The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Adolescent Indications for Use:
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adolescent patients (15–21).
Important Safety Information:
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary. The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient). Visit neurostar.com for full safety and prescribing information.
