NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is the #1 physician-recommended TMS therapy in the world for patients with major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxious depression. This treatment is ideal for patients who experience treatment-resistant depression and other qualifying mental health conditions who have not found success with medication, therapy, or other treatments.
If you are considering this transformative treatment from Premier TMS Centers of Los Angeles, you might be wondering about the timeline of results of Neurostar TMS therapy. We understand you want relief from your symptoms as soon as possible, and we are here to answer your questions.
NeuroStar TMS therapy is a physical mental health treatment that aims to resolve mental health concerns at their source: the brain. TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate parts of the brain that are lower functioning. Typically, these brain regions regulate and control emotion, mood, and behavior. NeuroStar stimulates these brain areas, improving brain activity in these important regions and allowing our patients to experience relief from their depression.
NeuroStar is delivered in a short treatment course of 20- to 30-minute sessions over approximately six to seven weeks. This is the recommended delivery method of treatment.
NeuroStar research and development is anchored in 65 clinical trials. These trials proved that over a hundred thousand MDD and OCD patients experienced positive improvements in their mental health, including positive mood changes, fewer depression days, and an increased desire for social engagement.
One of the most important clinical findings in these trials was the discovery of how the effects of NeuroStar TMS treatment lasted even after one year. Almost 6 million NeuroStar treatments were performed on patients during these clinical trials, and no serious adverse effects were reported.
One of the most common questions our patients ask Dr. Deirmenjian is, “What is the timeline of results for my TMS therapy treatment?” This is a reasonable question to ask; many of our patients seek this treatment because their mental health condition is resistant to medication and other therapies, so it makes sense that they are hoping for a treatment that is effective and offers rapid results.
While patients usually experience symptomatic relief at the end of the six or seven-week treatment course, some patients begin experiencing positive changes much earlier. In NeuroStar clinical trials, some patients reported feeling relief from their depression and OCD symptoms after the first or second treatment session.
Even if you experience positive benefits quickly, we strongly recommend completing the full treatment course. This treatment course was best studied in clinical trials and is known to offer long-lasting results. Completing the full NeuroStar treatment course as intended ensures you will have the best opportunity to optimize your NeuroStar results and experience sustained relief from your mental health symptoms.
Furthermore, NeuroStar treatment is designed to be progressive. Each session builds on the last, gradually stimulating the brain’s neural pathways to develop lasting positive changes in mood and behavior. You should commit to the entire NeuroStar treatment plan for optimal benefits.
