NeuroStar TMS Therapy® Clinical Research
Clinical trials have proven the efficacy of NeuroStar TMS Therapy in treating patients
who have had not benefited from prior antidepressant medication. Our TMS Therapy
system has significantly improved patient scores on the Montgomery Asberg Depression
Rating Scale (MADRS) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24) scale.1,2
NeuroStar TMS Therapy was studied in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive
Disorder; all of which had achieved little to no success with previous therapies.

NeuroStar TMS Therapy has not been studied in patients who have not received prior
antidepressant treatment. Efficacy has not been established in patients who have
failed to receive benefit from two or more prior antidepressant medications at minimal
effective dose and duration in the current episode.
An Effective Option for Treating Major Depressive Disorder
Demonstrated Acute MDD Efficacy in Randomized, Controlled Trial1,2
- 164 patients from indication patient population
- Triple-blinded (treater, rater, and patient)
- 4-6 weeks of TMS monotherapy
Patients treated with active NeuroStar TMS Therapy® experienced an
average reduction in their depression symptoms of 22.1% compared to a 9% average
reduction of depression symptoms in patients receiving inactive treatment.
NeuroStar® treated patients also experienced significant improvement
in anxiety, appetite changes, aches and pains, and lack of energy associated with
depression.
Acute MDD Efficacy Results in Open-Label Clinical Trial2
- 43 patients from indicated patient population
- 6 weeks of TMS monotherapy
Approximately half of the patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy®
experienced significant improvement in depression symptoms. About a third of the
patients treated with NeuroStar TMS Therapy® experienced complete
symptom relief at the end of six weeks.
