This article looks at the NeuroStar treatment timeline and when you can expect to see results.

What Is NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar is based on TMS therapy, which has been used in the mental health space for decades. TMS is a physical treatment for mental conditions that uses magnetic fields to stimulate parts of the brain that are lower functioning.
Typically, these cognitive regions are associated with regulating and controlling emotion, mood, and behavior. NeuroStar stimulates and improves brain activity in these areas, allowing individuals to experience relief from their depression and other symptoms.
Our patients experience various benefits for their mental health with NeuroStar, including:
- Safe, low-risk, and FDA-approved treatment
- Quick, 19-minute sessions at our clinic
- No downtime or recovery time
- Ability to resume daily living activities immediately after sessions
- No risk of systemic side effects
If you think NeuroStar may be the right option for your mental health journey, contact us today to schedule an initial consultation.
What Can I Expect from TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar is delivered in weekly sessions over 36 daily sessions. In clinical trials, hundreds of thousands of MDD and obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder patients experienced the following improvements after their treatment:
- Positive mood changes
- Fewer depression days
- An increased desire for social engagement
That is not all—the most essential findings were the discovery of long-lasting and enduring patient results. Clinical trials proved that the positive outcome of NeuroStar lasted even for a year after the treatment.
When Will I See Results from My NeuroStar Treatment?
While NeuroStar typically provides symptom relief at the end of the 7-week course, it is not uncommon for some patients to begin experiencing positive changes much earlier on in their treatment journey.
Many clinical trial patients reported feeling relief from their depression and OCD symptoms as soon as after the first or second treatment session. These early signs of improvement can serve as a beacon of hope and encouragement for individuals grappling with these challenging conditions daily.
How to Achieve an Optimal Outcome
We strongly recommend completing the full treatment course, even if you have positive results relatively early on. NeuroStar is designed to be progressive— each weekly session builds upon the last, gradually stimulating the brain’s neural pathways to develop lasting positive changes in mood and behavior.
Therefore, patients must commit to the entire 7-week NeuroStar treatment plan for the most optimal benefits. Your journey to wellness is our priority, and at Learning to Achieve Wellness, we are here to support you every step of the way.
