Questions about TMS and Neurostem?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. At Neurostem, TMS is delivered in an outpatient setting under medical supervision.

TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, especially for patients who have not experienced adequate relief from medications. Research and clinical use also suggest benefits for conditions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), migraines, and smoking cessation, depending on individual circumstances.

TMS delivers focused magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain associated with mood and emotional regulation. These pulses help restore healthier brain activity patterns without surgery, sedation, or medication.

During treatment, you may feel a light tapping or knocking sensation on your scalp where the magnetic coil is placed. Sessions typically last anywhere from 15 to 40  minutes.
