What Does FDA Clearance Mean?

 

FDA clearance for any sort of medical treatment is vital because it ensures the treatment that you undergo has been tested for its safety, as well as effectiveness. In other words, when any particular therapy or medical device gets cleared by the FDA, it basically means the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has indeed considered this treatment and found that it meets rigid criteria, making it appropriate in treating a certain condition. Such approval gives a patient added confidence that the treatment is safe and effective in treating the conditions it is prescribed for.

Which Conditions Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Have Indication to Treat?

NeuroStar TMS Therapy is indicated for treatment of major depressive disorder in patients aged 15 and up who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from one prior antidepressant medication at or above the minimal effective dose and duration in the current episode. It is also cleared for anxious depression and OCD for adults aged 22 and over. Always talk to your doctor about whether TMS may be right for your specific needs.

Why FDA Clearance Matters

It is important to your safety and peace of mind that a treatment be FDA-cleared. This guarantees that the treatment went through a series of tests and it showed its effectiveness against a certain condition. If you are considering TMS therapy, knowing that NeuroStar is cleared by the FDA should give you even more confidence that this is indeed a trusted, safe treatment. This also means that your doctor can confidently recommend NeuroStar TMS as part of your treatment plan for depression.
