Mental health care is evolving rapidly, and NeuroStar TMS Therapy is at the forefront of innovative treatments. While commonly recognized as an effective option for managing Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), this FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy is proving to be a versatile solution for OCD and MDD with comorbid anxiety.. By targeting specific areas of the brain through magnetic stimulation, NeuroStar TMS Therapy offers hope for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments.
There are a few different conditions that NeuroStar TMS therapy is cleared to address for our Ithaca patients.
Depression affects millions of people worldwide, and for some, antidepressant medications and therapy alone are insufficient. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a game-changer for individuals with treatment-resistant depression, boasting an impressive 83% response rate (Sackeim HA, et al. (2020). J Affect Disord, 277:65 74. Based on a real world, retrospective study using CGI-S and a sample size of 615 patients). Patients often experience significant mood improvement after a series of sessions, making this a valuable alternative when other options have failed.
NeuroStar can also address major depression with comorbid anxiety.
OCD can severely impact daily life, with persistent, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors dominating a person’s routines. TMS Therapy offers relief by targeting brain circuits that contribute to these symptoms. The magnetic pulses stimulate areas associated with compulsive tendencies, helping to reduce their intensity and improve overall wellbeing.
What sets NeuroStar TMS Therapy apart is its non-invasive and drug-free approach. Unlike medications, which can cause a range of systemic side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, or digestive issues, TMS therapy works directly on the brain without affecting the rest of the body. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, with most patients reporting minimal side effects, such as mild scalp discomfort during sessions.
Moreover, NeuroStar’s technology is backed by rigorous scientific studies and years of clinical use, offering a safe and effective alternative for those seeking relief from mental health challenges.
