NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Neuronetics’ NeuroStar TMS Therapy system was cleared by the FDA in October 2008 for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from one prior antidepressant medication at or above the minimal effective dose and duration in the current episode. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a non-systemic (does not circulate in the bloodstream throughout the body) and noninvasive (does not involve surgery) form of neuromodulation. It stimulates nerve cells in an area of the brain that has been linked to depression by delivering highly focused MRIstrength magnetic field pulses. The treatment is typically administered daily for 4-6 weeks. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is available by prescription only. For full safety and prescribing information, visit www.NeuroStar.com.
