Relief Without Risk
Chronic pain doesn't just affect the body—it rewires how the brain processes discomfort. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy offers a noninvasive, drug-free approach that targets the neurological patterns behind persistent pain. This FDA-cleared safe treatment uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain that may be underactive or misfiring in individuals living with chronic pain conditions.
Unlike medications that circulate through your entire system, NeuroStar works at the source. Each session delivers MRI-strength magnetic pulses through a cushioned coil placed against your head. These pulses activate nerve cells linked to how the brain perceives and processes pain, helping restore healthier communication between brain regions.
NeuroStar is not surgery. It’s not ECT or “shock therapy.” It’s a gentle, in-office procedure that requires no downtime, no sedation, and no systemic side effects. Most patients relax in the treatment chair and return to normal activities immediately afterward.
NeuroStar is used in clinics across the country to support patients with:
- Neuropathic and nerve-related pain
- Migraines and post-concussion symptoms
- Post-surgical pain
- Phantom limb pain and spinal cord injury pain
- Central and visceral pain syndromes
With millions of sessions performed nationwide, NeuroStar is redefining how we treat chronic pain—without dependency on medication or invasive procedures.
A Closer Look at NeuroStar Therapy
Pain isn’t always rooted in the body. Many chronic pain conditions originate in the brain, where nerve signals become disrupted or hypersensitive. NeuroStar TMS Therapy works by retraining those pain-processing pathways—without medication, injections, or surgery.
During treatment, you sit comfortably in a chair while a cushioned coil is placed gently against your head. This coil sends magnetic pulses—similar in strength to an MRI—into the areas of the brain that influence how pain is felt and interpreted. These targeted pulses help restore normal nerve activity, often reducing pain intensity and frequency over time.
Each session takes just 19 to 37 minutes, and you remain fully awake. There’s no sedation, and most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping on the scalp. After your session, you can return to your day immediately with no downtime.
A typical treatment course includes five sessions per week over four to six weeks. Results build gradually, and many patients notice improvements within the first few weeks of care.
By reconnecting misfiring neural circuits, NeuroStar gives your brain the chance to reset its response to chronic pain. It's a precision-guided therapy designed to improve your quality of life without the side effects that often come with long-term medication use.
NeuroStar isn’t just for mood disorders. This advanced therapy is being used across the country to support patients with a wide range of chronic pain and neurological conditions—especially when medications have failed or produced too many side effects.
By targeting brain regions involved in pain processing and emotional regulation, NeuroStar helps restore healthier communication between nerve cells. The result is often a noticeable reduction in symptoms, improved function, and better quality of life.

If traditional treatments haven’t brought relief, or you're seeking a solution that avoids systemic medication, NeuroStar offers a new way forward—safe, noninvasive, and clinically backed.
Why Patients Choose NeuroStar for Chronic Pain
When chronic pain disrupts daily life, finding relief without more medications or side effects can feel impossible. NeuroStar offers an alternative. This therapy is designed to reduce pain by stimulating areas of the brain that may be misfiring or underactive—not by masking symptoms, but by helping the brain reset how it responds to pain signals.
Patients often choose NeuroStar because it is:
- Noninvasive and Drug-Free
No pills, no surgery, and no sedation. NeuroStar uses magnetic pulses to deliver relief without affecting the rest of the body. - Safe and Well-Tolerated
Most people experience only mild scalp discomfort that fades within a few sessions. There are no systemic side effects like fatigue, weight gain, or digestive issues. - Supported by Data
With millions of treatments performed and ongoing clinical research, NeuroStar is backed by real-world outcomes. The majority of patients report lasting improvement with consistent use. - Convenient and No Downtime
Sessions take less than an hour and you can return to work or daily activities right away. No recovery time needed.
For those who have exhausted other pain management options, NeuroStar offers something different—a brain-based solution that prioritizes your quality of life.
For many living with chronic pain, traditional options fall short. Medications lose effectiveness or bring a wave of side effects. NeuroStar offers a different outcome—one that starts in the brain and translates to everyday relief.
In real-world clinical use, NeuroStar has helped thousands of patients experience meaningful improvements in their symptoms. While it was originally developed for treatment-resistant depression, the same brain-targeted technology is now being applied to pain management with promising results.
What the data for shows:
- 83% of patients reported measurable improvement in symptoms
- 62% achieved complete remission in their original treatment condition
- Outcomes are backed by 65+ published studies and the largest depression treatment registry in the world
- Many patients begin noticing positive changes within 2 to 3 weeks
These results are more than numbers. They represent people who’ve reclaimed their energy, clarity, and ability to function—without relying on daily medication or invasive procedures.
If pain has ruled your life for too long, NeuroStar may offer the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
Backed by Clinical Research and Real-World Data
NeuroStar is not experimental. It’s a rigorously studied, FDA-cleared technology with a growing body of evidence supporting its use in treating neurological and pain-related disorders.
While initially cleared for treatment-resistant depression, the therapeutic impact of NeuroStar’s transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has extended into chronic pain, neuropathic conditions, and other forms of central nervous system dysfunction. Researchers have been exploring its effectiveness in rebalancing brain activity where traditional treatments fall short.
