If you are looking for more information about the safety and side effects of NeuroStar TMS therapy, reviewing the research behind it is a good starting point. NeuroStar is backed by very strong clinical evidence, including comprehensive clinical trials. This demonstrates that NeuroStar is a very safe option for patients.
While NeuroStar TMS therapy is generally safe when performed by a qualified mental health specialist, some patients may experience mild to moderate side effects. These can include mild headaches, lightheadedness, tingling, spasms, or scalp discomfort. However, these side effects are typically quite mild. They can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (like Tylenol or Advil) and often resolve quickly as your body adjusts to the treatment. This makes TMS an appealing option compared to other treatments.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy can be an effective treatment for many patients, but it may not be suitable for everyone due to potential side-effects. Certain individuals are ineligible for TMS treatment, including patients under 22 years old (with the exception of those aged 15-21 who have been diagnosed with MDD), and/or individuals with specific active or inactive implants in the head or neck. Patients with serious neurological conditions like epilepsy may be ineligible too. This isn’t an exhaustive list—the best thing to do if you are evaluating TMS therapy as an option is to consult a licensed professional for personalized advice, such as those available at Chrysalis Psychiatry
