All About prTMS

A New Advancement in TMS Treatment

Innovative brain stimulation research has led to breakthroughs in mental health treatment, including PrTMS. While TMS effectively treats depression, PrTMS takes it further with a personalized approach.

Using brain mapping, PrTMS tailors repetitive magnetic pulses to each individual, enhancing results.

Benefits of PrTMS

  • Reduced magnetic field
    PrTMS therapy utilizes a lower amplitude to effect results than traditional TMS
  • Greater target area
    Standard TMS targets one area of the brain. In contrast, PrTMS can target multiple identified areas that can increase a patient's probability of success
  • Non-invasive
    Due to the non-invasive nature of PrTMS does not require anesthesia. Thus, normal activities can be resumed immediately after treatments.
  • Minimal side effects
    Most people report no side effects, with the most common side effect being a mild headache.

Preparing for PrTMS Treatment

Quantitative EEG (electroencephalogram) measures brain activity. This simple test uses sensors placed on different areas of the head that connect to the EEG machine. The sEEG detects electrical impulses in the brain, revealing the quantity and types of brain waves. This information allows a doctor to compare whether recorded brain waves in a particular region are within normal range.

Analysis

Information from the qEEG is gathered about the performance of the lobes of the brain. The different wave patterns observed and how various brain areas are functioning.

By assessing the data from the qEEG, a doctor can create a unique map of the person’s brain activity. This will facilitate the development of a specialized PrTMS therapy regimen.
