Device for Depression Criticized
The FDA is questioning the value of a new brain stimulating device for depression. The device called NeuroStar, stimulates the brain by sending a focused magnetic field into the brain from outside the skull. The device works the same as electroconclusive therapy. One of the advantages of the NeuroStar is that it does not require invasive surgery, unlike other treatments. Critics of NeuroStar suggest that treatment with the device does not have an affect on patients. The device has though shown some statistical advantage in treatig depression.
