NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy was the first TMS device FDA-cleared for treating depression in adults who did not respond to antidepressants. It is now also cleared as an adjunct treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder in adults and for adolescent patients 15 or older who are suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD).
NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy can help patients in Jacksonville and the surrounding area who are still struggling with depression, even after trying antidepressants and therapy.
TMS Therapy uses short magnetic fields, similar to an MRI, to target your brain’s left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This is the section of the brain that manages mood regulation.
These magnetic pulses produce electrical currents that activate neurons. which then release neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. An imbalance of these neurotransmitters is a potential cause of depression, so the goal of TMS therapy is to restore them to optimal levels.
In Jacksonville, NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy offers patients a non-invasive, FDA-cleared approach to achieving this balance, providing hope for those struggling with depression.
Neurostar has collected data for almost a decade, analyzing outcomes from more than 17,700 patients who received the therapy since 2016.

Based on a real-world, retrospective study using CGI-S and a sample size of 615 patients).
