Understanding NeuroStar TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough, FDA-approved therapy designed to treat major depressive disorder in adults. At TMS of Tennessee, we utilize the NeuroStar® TMS System, a leading technology recognized for its precision and efficacy. This advanced system uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation, which may have become underactive in individuals experiencing depression.
How NeuroStar TMS Works
The TMS procedure is completely non-invasive, meaning no medication or surgery is involved. During a typical session, you will comfortably sit in a chair, fully clothed. A comfortable, cushioned helmet fitted with a specialized magnetic coil delivers targeted magnetic pulses to your head. These pulses generate small electrical currents in the brain, effectively stimulating nerve cells known to be involved in depression.
Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS does not require ingestion, thereby avoiding systemic side effects. The treatment is well-tolerated, generally painless, and most patients report feeling relaxed or even slightly energized during their sessions. A standard course of treatment involves daily sessions, typically lasting about 20 to 40 minutes each, over a period of several weeks.
Conditions Treated at TMS of Tennessee (Franklin Location)
Our primary focus at our Franklin location is the treatment of:
• Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD): For individuals who have not achieved satisfactory results with one or two adequate trials of antidepressant medication.
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): We offer TMS as an alternative or adjunctive treatment option for those experiencing significant depressive symptoms.
While our primary application is for depression, our team stays informed about the expanding research into TMS for other conditions, though our main clinical focus remains the treatment of depression at this Franklin site.
