Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved procedure for treating depression. Unlike ECT, which applies electricity, our TMS device employs cutting-edge technology to address the cause of depression using simple magnets. TMS also has numerous protocols that our office uses to address a range of mental conditions.  We have many TMS specialists who will customize …

The TMS Therapy system utilizes magnetic pulses to produce strong, brief fields similar to those produced by MRI machines. A coil is positioned on the patient’s head to deliver these fields to the left prefrontal cortex, which plays a role in mood regulation.  The waves do not reach all parts of our brain; they only …

Depression affects more than 17 million adults in the United States. Though many find relief from their symptoms with treatment, no single method works for all. To better understand depression and find more effective therapies, Stedman Clinical Trials in Tampa, Florida, is looking for participants to take part in a depression research study. What is …

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 …

Magnetic pulses are created by the TMS Therapy system using the same magnetic fields as those generated by MRI machines. The treatment coil is positioned on the patient’s head above the left prefrontal cortex, which controls mood. These fields are focused there.  Benefits of TMS Therapy What to Expect with TMS Therapy  At our office, …

Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008, TMS uses an alternating current passed through a metal coil placed against the scalp to generate rapidly alternating magnetic fields. These pass through the skull nearly unimpeded and induce electric currents that depolarize neurons in a focal area of the surface cortex. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation …

TMS Therapy has proven to be safe and effective in treating patients who were suffering from Major Depressive Disorder. This therapy was studied in adult patients, all of whom had not been receiving satisfactory improvement with previous treatments. Depression Treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is easy:  Depression Treatment & TMS Therapy  TMS ( transcranial magnetic …

There are many different types of antidepressants out there for you to choose from, including SSRIs and older drug classes like tricyclic antidepressants. These medications have been proven to work for the treatment of depression. But maybe you’ve tried antidepressant drugs before …

The TMS Therapy system uses magnetic pulses to create fast, highly concentrated fields that are the same as those produced by MRI machines. The treatment coil is applied to the head above left prefrontal cortex – which is involved with mood regulation and so it’s the place where these fields will be focused.  These magnetic …
