NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is a new treatment cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients suffering from depression* who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant treatment.
TMS Therapy is a treatment that can be performed in a psychiatrist’s office, under their supervision, using a medical device called the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is:
· Non-invasive, meaning that it does not involve surgery. It does not require any anesthesia or sedation, as the patient remains awake and alert during the treatment.
· Non-systemic, meaning that it is not taken by mouth and does not circulate in the blood stream throughout the body.
The typical initial treatment course consists of 5 treatments per week over a 4 – 6 week period, for an average of 20 – 30 total treatments. Each treatment session lasts approximately 40 minutes.
** We are the only TMS clinic in the East Bay that has a Kaiser contract. We do also accept insurance from Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, United Behavioral Health and MHN/Health Net.
