NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is the #1 physician-recommended treatment of its kind and could help you manage depressive or anxious symptoms if you are 22 and up, or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) if you are over the age of 15. This non-invasive, non-medication therapy could help you achieve results within four to six weeks that can last up to 12 months.
Understanding the TMS therapy timeline is an important step in deciding whether NeuroStar TMS is the right treatment for you. At The TMS Center of New Jersey, we provide the information and support you need to move forward with confidence. Schedule a consultation with our medical team to learn what to expect and when you might start seeing results.
At The TMS Center of New Jersey, we begin with an initial consultation, during which our clinical team will carry out a full medical review to ensure you are a suitable candidate for NeuroStar TMS treatment. Typically, this consultation will take up to an hour and may require some medical testing.
After you have been approved to begin your TMS treatment, you will have sessions five days a week for seven weeks. Each session is 19 minutes long, and you will be awake, alert, and comfortable throughout as anesthesia and sedation are not required. There is no cognitive impairment following a session, and you are free to return to your usual daily activities, avoiding the systemic side effects associated with taking medication.
For most patients, our seven-week treatment program is sufficient to experience positive results. However, depending on how well you respond to treatment, you may benefit from additional treatment sessions. During your initial consultation, we will develop a TMS therapy plan with your best interests in mind, discussing this with you so you are fully aware of your treatment timeline.
Every patient is different, and responses to the treatment program vary. Some patients experience benefits within the first few weeks, while others need more time. According to 65 NeuroStar TMS clinical trials conducted on 100,000 patients, most people experience positive results as they finish the program. We therefore strongly recommend that you complete the seven-week treatment course to achieve optimal results.
