At the TMS Center of New Jersey, we are proud to be the first medical practice in Monmouth County and the entire Jersey Shore to introduce Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a revolutionary new FDA cleared treatment for Depression. TMS is clinically proven to improve the symptoms of depression that did not respond to prior antidepressant treatments and does not cause any of the side effects commonly associated with antidepressant medications. NeuroStar Advanced TMS is a safe, effective option for those who have not responded to or are intolerant of antidepressant medications or just prefer a non-pharmacologic approach to treating their depression.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
Non invasive and non systemic. The only side effect is the possible minor irritation of the scalp.
A typical treatment course consists of 5 treatments per week over a
6 - 7 week period.
Each treatments typically lasts between 19-37 minutes. The variation depends on your diagnosis.
You will be fully awake and alert. You can read or watch TV and return to work after your treatment with no restrictions.
