NeuroStar TMS Treatment Process

STEP 1

Call Linden Point TMS (515) 985-2024 to speak with our TMS coordinator or schedule a consultation to learn more. Our coordinator can usually see you as quickly as 2 business days.

During the consultation, our TMS coordinator can discuss any questions or concerns you may have and explain TMS to you. A brief medical screen will also be completed to insure TMS would be a safe option for you to pursue. If you decide to proceed, you will be referred to your medical team.

 

STEP 2

You will be seen by one of our TMS certified nurse practitioners who will complete an evaluation and medical screen to determine TMS is the right treatment for you. 

STEP 3

We will contact your insurance company to obtain authorization for this treatment. Once authorization is approved, treatment sessions will be scheduled immediately.

STEP 4 ( Final Step )

Final Step: During treatment, we review progress in 4 different ways. We use trained clinicians’ assessments, your feedback, friends and family feedback, along with the results from the routine surveys during the treatment. We can often begin treatments within 1 week of the first call you place to our clinic.

What to expect during the treatment

The magnetic pulses make a clicking sound and feel like a tapping on the scalp, but do not result in more than mild discomfort. If you wish, you can watch television or listen to music during the TMS session. Our staff members are trained therapists so talking with them is also an option.

What to expect after the treatment

You can drive and resume your normal activity. TMS is non-invasive, meaning it does not involve surgery, and has no systemic effects. Typical TMS side effects are transient and mild irritation or discomfort at the treatment site and headache.
