The Technology Behind Every Treatment at High Peaks TMS

High Peaks TMS uses only the NeuroStar Advanced TMS System — the most widely studied TMS device in the United States, with the broadest FDA clearances, largest outcomes database, and widest insurance acceptance of any TMS platform.

Platform Overview

The gold standard in TMS — chosen by more practices and covered by more insurers than any other platform.

NeuroStar has delivered over 5.5 million treatments to more than 124,000 patients — making it the most clinically validated TMS system in the field. Its precision-engineered figure-eight coil delivers consistent, reproducible magnetic stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, with built-in motor threshold guidance ensuring accurate calibration at every session.

FDA Clearances
  • MDD
    Major Depressive Disorder — AdultsOriginal FDA clearance in 2008. First TMS device cleared for MDD. Cleared for treatment-resistant depression and as an adjunctive treatment.
  • ANX
    Anxious DepressionThe only TMS system with a specific clearance for MDD with concurrent anxiety — clinically meaningful for the ~60% of MDD patients who also experience significant anxiety.
  • OCD
    Obsessive-Compulsive DisorderFDA-cleared for OCD in 2018. Targets the cortical-striatal-thalamic circuit when medication and CBT have not provided adequate relief.
  • 15+
    Adolescent Depression — Ages 15+2024 FDA clearance for MDD in adolescent patients aged 15 and older — the first TMS system to receive this specific clearance.
How It Works
  • 01
    Figure-eight coil for focused stimulationThe figure-eight geometry concentrates magnetic field intensity at the intersection, allowing precise targeting of the DLPFC with minimal stimulation of surrounding structures.
  • 02
    Motor threshold calibration — individualizedBefore treatment begins, the system determines each patient's motor threshold — ensuring treatment is calibrated to individual neurophysiology rather than a population average.
  • 03
    Reproducible positioning every sessionNeuroStar's positioning system ensures the coil is placed in the same location at every session — a critical factor for treatment consistency and outcomes.
  • 04
    Standard and accelerated protocolsNeuroStar supports both standard TMS (36 sessions / 6 weeks) and shorter protocols. Your treatment team determines the appropriate course at consultation.
