In March 2024, Neuronetics received FDA clearance for its NeuroStar TMS system as a first-line, adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder in adolescents aged 15 to 21, according to the company's own financial disclosure.

Neuronetics has also reported analyses of real-world outcomes in adolescents and young adults from its TrakStar database. Those figures are manufacturer-reported and have been criticized by some clinicians for limited adverse-event data.

This is an older item retained for context. Families should discuss adolescent TMS with a qualified child and adolescent psychiatrist.
