What Is NeuroStar?

NeuroStar has offered hope to hundreds of thousands of patients who have not achieved relief from standard medication treatment for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxious depression. NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment. It is indicated for use for the following mental health conditions in qualifying adult patients:

  • Major depressive disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Major depressive disorder with anxiety 

Interested patients in Albany, Schenectady, Troy, or the surrounding New York capital region are strongly encouraged to speak with one of our clinicians to discover if NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is suitable for them. In a short treatment course of just seven weeks, with weekly treatments only taking 19 minutes, you can achieve long-lasting relief from your mental health symptoms. 

When Should I Consider NeuroStar?

While medication has helped millions of patients around the world manage their depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, it simply does not work for everyone. In fact, many patients fail to achieve symptomatic relief with their medications. Often, this forces our patients to switch back and forth between medications, which can disrupt their daily lives. In other cases, some patients may only achieve temporary relief from these medications and struggle with achieving long-lasting comfort. When your mental health symptoms begin to interfere with daily living and quality of life, you need other, faster, and better treatment options.

NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy may be an ideal treatment solution for our patients in Albany who no longer wish to pursue medication treatment. Given its non-surgical nature, NeuroStar is considered to be a safe and only moderate-risk treatment for qualifying patients.

Good Candidates for NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy

Adult patients with MDD, OCD, or MDD with anxiety, and adolescent patients over 15 with MDD, may be eligible for this treatment. NeuroStar is ideal for patients who have not achieved relief from medication treatment. It is covered by most major insurance providers—including Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare—and coverage is available for 300 million Americans. At Capital Region TMS, we can help you navigate your insurance options for this treatment. 

Who Is Not Eligible for NeuroStar?

While NeuroStar may be a good treatment option for many of our patients, not every patient is eligible for this procedure. NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is not recommended for certain patients, including those who have permanent conductive metal or stimulator implants in or near the head, or those with active or inactive implants such as:

  • Cochlear implants
  • Deep brain stimulators
  • Vagus nerve stimulators

NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is also not cleared for patients who are pregnant or children under the age of 15. If you would like to learn more about NeuroStar treatment eligibility, if you are not sure about your treatment eligibility, or if you would like to explore the many treatment options available to you, speak to the specialists at Capital Region TMS in Albany.
