 NeuroStar TMS Therapy® is a precisely
targeted treatment. The magnetic field produced by the system affects tissue only about
2-3 centimeters into the brain directly beneath the treatment coil.
The magnetic field passes through the hair, scalp, and skull and into the prefrontal cortex unimpeded.
This method allows for precise targeted stimulation, minimizing the stimulation of
brain tissue not involved in mood.
Inside the brain, the dynamic nature of the pulsed magnetic field induces electrical
charges to flow. The amount of electricity created in the brain is very small, but these small electric charges cause the neurons to
fire or become active. The treatment goal is to stimulate (or activate) brain cells
non-invasively without anesthesia or sedation. Patients remain awake and alert throughout the TMS Therapy session,
able to resume normal life activities immediately following treatment.
