NeuroStar is a safe, effective, non-drug depression treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI, to revitalize connections in an area of the brain involved in regulating your mood. When these connections are reawakened, many people experience measureable relief from their depression.
Neurostar is FDA-cleared for adults with Major Depressive Disorder who have not found relief from antidepressant medications. It is also FDA cleared for OCD and now as an adjunct depression treatment for adolescents. Our team will walk you through the full qualifications for treatment during your initial consultation.
In a study of "real-world" outcomes (meaning actual Neurostar patients), up to 83% of people who completed the full Neurostar treatment cycle experienced a measureable decrease in the severity of their depression, and up to 62% of those completing treatment saw full remission of their depression.
While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week of treatment. There is no sedation or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.
Over 300 million people have insurance plans that cover Neurostar. Conditions and coverage can vary by insurance company, and our office will help you determine your benefits and coverage.
With more than three million treatments delivered, this novel treatment approach to achieving remission is bringing new hope to people every day.
