What Is TMS?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a treatment technique that uses a magnetic field to influence brain activity.
​
This treatment, first developed in 1985, now sees widespread use.
​
It can treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other brain-related conditions.
​
It's noninvasive, medication free and can help when other treatment approaches are not effective. The side effects are usually mild and temporary.
​
At KMHM, we start low and gradually increase the energy used during each treatment session to ensure the process is comfortable and well-tolerated.
83%
Measurable Improvement
A real-world study reported an 83% response rate. This means that 83% of patients that completed their NeuroStar treatment cycle saw measurable improvement in their depression symptoms.
62%
Complete Remission
The same real-world study reported a 62% remission rate. This means that 62% of patients that completed their NeuroStar treatment cycle likely wouldn’t be diagnosed with MDD if they were first being evaluated by their doctor.
7%
Decreasing Remission with Medications
By comparison, in a separate study not involving NeuroStar, for patients who have not found relief from 3 or more antidepressants, the chance of remission from subsequent medications is less than 7%.
For people who have not found relief from antidepressants, NeuroStar TMS is a safe and proven treatment for depression.

TMS Is Covered By Most Major Insurance Companies
NeuroStar is the #1 physician-recommended TMS Therapy for the treatment of mental health issues. It’s a safe, effective treatment that is FDA-cleared and covered by most insurance companies for MDD and MDD with anxious depression. And new payors are frequently adding OCD to their list of covered conditions. If you suffer from OCD, it’s worth asking your insurance company if they cover TMS for OCD treatment.
