NEUROSTAR TMS THERAPY FOR MDD & OCD

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been around for many decades and was only available at academic institutions for research and severe clinical cases. But ever since the FDA cleared and approved TMS for use in the general public for the treatment of depression and other conditions back in 2008, there has been a rapidly growing interest to use TMS Therapy as a reliable adjunctive or replacement treatment for depression and other conditions.

 

Neurostar has been a pioneer in TMS and was the original manufacturer to secure FDA clearance for TMS.

​Hence, Lighthouse Psychiatry is proud to offer Neurostar TMS for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and OCD in both Brain Health Centers – Gilbert and coming soon to Scottsdale, Arizona.

ADVANCED EEG-GUIDED TMS THERAPY (MeRT)

While Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been around for many decades, it is only recently that EEG data is being utilized to provide a greater customization of TMS to further optimize brain response and healing.

Lighthouse Psychiatry is proud to be an exclusive provider of Advanced EEG-guided TMS Therapy (MeRT). This innovative technology can be an effective adjunctive treatment for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, autism (ASD), PTSD, concussion, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment.

​Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is an advanced application of "standard" TMS. As of 2022, the FDA has only cleared TMS for the treatment of depression. Hence, insurance will only cover depression treatment. Application of TMS for other diagnoses are considered "off-label" and will not be covered by insurance. 

​We are thrilled to bring Wave Neuroscience's proprietary MeRT TMS technology to Arizona for the first time. Using a customized MagVenture TMS and quantitative EEG data, MeRT generates a personalized treatment algorithm to optimize brain healing.
