Benefits of NeuroStar TMS Therapy
NeuroStar TMS Therapy has been demonstrated to be safe and tolerable.
Over 10,000 active treatments were safely performed with NeuroStar TMS Therapy during the clinical trials.
The most commonly reported side effect related to treatment was scalp pain or discomfort during the treatment session. This side effect was generally mild to moderate, and occurred less frequently after the first week of treatment. Less than 5% of patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy discontinued treatment due to side effects.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in Major Depressive Disorder.*
In an open label trial, which is most like a real world clinical practice, approximately 1 out of 2 patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy experienced significant improvement in depression symptoms. Approximately 1 out of 3 patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy experienced complete symptom relief at the end of 6 weeks. NeuroStar-treated patients also experienced significant improvement in anxiety, appetite changes, aches and pains, and lack of energy associated with depression. As with any antidepressant treatment, patients should be monitored for symptoms of worsening depression.
*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.
