When medication does not provide the relief you need for your mental health symptoms, it can feel overwhelming and discouraging. Mech Mental Health offers a non-medication and non-surgical solution: NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy. This is the #1 physician-recommended TMS therapy for conditions such as major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and major depressive disorder with anxious depression. 

When you have concerns about the safety and side effects of TMS therapy, you can be assured that this treatment is safe and FDA-cleared when delivered by a licensed professional as intended. If you have any further questions, our clinicians are here for you. 

How Safe Is NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy?

Medical professionals widely consider NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy safe and low risk. The safety and side effects of NeuroStar TMS therapy were studied in 65 rigorous clinical trials involving over 100,000 patients who received six million NeuroStar treatments. No patients reported serious adverse effects in any study. 

Though no serious side effects were experienced or reported in NeuroStar clinical research trials, some patients did experience mild and minor side effects. These side effects were minor, temporary, localized to the treatment site, and easily managed with over-the-counter medication. Furthermore, these side effects typically only appeared after the first few sessions and disappeared entirely after subsequent treatments, making NeuroStar a more well-tolerated treatment option compared to other mental health therapies.

Common Side Effects of TMS Therapy

At Mech Mental Health Innovations, we prioritize your safety and comfort, and we strive to recommend and provide mental health treatments that are well-tolerated by our patients. 

NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is safe. However, a small percentage of patients may experience mild to moderate side effects, such as:

These side effects are not the same as adverse effects or serious complications because they are typically mild and can often be managed with over-the-counter pain relief, such as Advil. They usually resolve quickly as your body adapts to the treatment, and many patients do not experience any side effects.

The fact that side effects from NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy are generally mild and easily manageable makes this treatment option particularly appealing for our patients. The specialists at Mech Mental Health Innovations are here to guide you through the process and ensure a positive experience.
