TMS Therapy
What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy?
Oasis Behavioral Health proudly offers NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment for individuals struggling with major depression. This innovative therapy uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation, providing hope to those who have not found success with traditional antidepressant medications.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, also known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is FDA-cleared and designed for patients who have not experienced significant benefits from antidepressant medications.
How Safe is TMS?
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has been proven safe and effective for treating depression. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS Therapy has no systemic side effects.
The most common side effect is mild to moderate discomfort at or near the treatment area, which typically subsides after the first week. Clinical studies and real-world applications have demonstrated a strong safety profile for this treatment.
Common Questions About TMS Therapy
How does NeuroStar treatment work?
NeuroStar uses an MRI-strength magnet to stimulate areas of the brain that control mood. This increases blood flow, glucose metabolism, and neurotransmitter activity in patients with depression.
What are treatments like?
You might experience minor discomfort at the treatment site during the first week, but this typically subsides. Sessions do not require sedation, and you can read, watch TV, or converse with your treatment coordinator. Normal activities, including driving, can resume immediately afterward.
How long does each treatment last?
Clinical studies reveal that after 12 months, 45.1% of patients maintained remission, and 67.7% experienced a sustained positive response. Some patients may require additional treatments, with an average of 16 sessions for maintenance.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is mild discomfort at the treatment site, sometimes accompanied by a headache during the first few days. Over-the-counter pain relief can help if needed, and discomfort generally diminishes after the first five days
