Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Check more information under NeuroStar's Official Website
Elite Health offers an advanced therapy known as NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS), utilizing a targeted, pulsed magnetic field akin to that used in MRI machines. These pulses, emitted by a NeuroStar FDA approved device, specifically target the area of the brain associated with depression.
Elite Health is pleased to provide NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS). Elite Health eagerly bring this highly effective treatment to our community and patients.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) activates areas of the brain typically underactive in individuals experiencing depressive symptoms, all within 19-minute treatment sessions. Unlike medications dispersed throughout the body, this treatment targets depression directly, minimizing common medication side effects.
For those who have not found relief with two or more antidepressant medications, the likelihood of achieving remission is notably lower compared to the response and remission rates associated with NeuroStar therapy.
It's important to note that NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) differs from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and is typically covered by insurance policies. Reach out to us today to schedule a consultation and start your journey towards full remission of depressive symptoms.
About NeuroStar TMS Therapy
NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy). While the exact cause of depression is not known, the leading scientific theory is that it is caused by an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.
Why NEUROSTAR? Why not other devices?
NEUROSTAR has pioneered this technique and has studies that have been backed up by treatment of over 169000 people.
It has also been the only device approved to treat patients 15 and up silently suffering from Anxious depression, depression and OCD.
In trial after trial, the benefits reported by patients and doctors on NeuroStar TMS therapy show that NeuroStar is safe, effective, low-risk treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The compilation of these outcomes makes up the largest Outcome Registry in the world for any MDD treatment.
Meaning, NeuroStar is proven to be effective and safe—as shown by the clinical data of more than 65 studies.
NeuroStar is the only TMS treatment that has proven to be effective for a year. ^5,8
NeuroStar is the #1 physician-recommended TMS treatment, with over 6.1 million treatments performed, in over 169,000 people.
NeuroStar was the first TMS device to be cleared (de novo) clearance from the FDA in 2008 for the indication to treat Adult MDD.
What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?
During a NeuroStar treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.
Treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is easy:
- Therapy sessions are conducted in your NeuroStar doctor’s office
- You can return to normal activities right away
- You are awake during treatment
- There are no negative effects on memory or sleep
- It’s covered by most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare
