Indications for Use in Major Depressive Disorder

CE mark and FDA clearance (K170902, K182700): Nexstim NBS 6 is indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode. 

Nexstim NBS 6 for depression is intended to be used for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) by targeting and delivering noninvasive repetitive TMS stimulation to the patient's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

Indications for Use in Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Nexstim NBS 6 is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for commercial use of the treatment of chronic pain in the United States, for investigational use only.

CE mark Intended use

Nexstim NBS 6 for depression is intended to be used for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) by targeting and delivering non-invasive repetitive TMS stimulation to the patient's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

CE mark Indications for use

Nexstim NBS 6 is indicated for MRI-guided and electric field (or E-field) navigated, non-invasive, repetitive TMS stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex as therapy to alleviate chronic unilateral neuropathic pain in adult patients. Nexstim NBS 6 is intended to be used by trained clinical professionals. 

Indications for Use in Localization of Motor Cortex

FDA and CE-mark:

The Nexstim Navigated Brain Stimulation (NBS) System 5 is indicated for non-invasive mapping of the primary motor cortex of the brain to its cortical gyrus. The Nexstim NBS System 5 provides information that may be used in the assessment of the primary motor cortex for pre-procedural planning.

The Nexstim NBS System 5 is not intended to be used during a surgical procedure. The Nexstim NBS System 5 is not intended to be used by trained clinical professionals.

Indications for Use in Localization of Speech Function

FDA and CE-mark:

Nexstim NexSpeech®, when used together with the NBS System 5, is indicated for non-invasive localization of cortical areas that do not contain essential speech function. NexSpeech® provides information that may be used in pre-surgical planning in patients undergoing brain surgery. Intra-operatively, the localization information provided by NexSpeech® is intended to be verified by direct cortical stimulation.

The Nexstim NBS System 5 with NexSpeech® is not intended to be used during a surgical procedure.

The Nexstim NBS System 5 with NexSpeech® is intended to be used by trained clinical professionals.
