Neuronetics' NeuroStar device uses strong magnetic fields to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood. The device is designed to treat patients with major depressive disorder who do not respond to medication. In December of 2008, the NeuroStar device won 510(k) clearance from the FDA as a treatment for adults who previously failed to respond to one medication. But in May 2014, the U.S. regulatory agency expanded the device's indication to include adults who do not respond to one or more medications. Approximately 50,000 patients have been treated with the device, according to Neuronetics.
