What Is Nexstim TMS?
Effective TMS must reach the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — a small, deeply connected mood hub you cannot see without a scan. Nexstim uses 3D imaging and proven navigation so every pulse hits the right location.
Beyond Estimation
TMS without image guidance estimates stimulation sites. Nexstim targets based on your anatomy — improving the chance you receive the dose you need.
