How Does PrTMS Work?

Brainwaves are electrical activity patterns that originate from the firing of neurons. There are four main types of brainwaves: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta waves are associated with wakefulness and mental alertness. Alpha waves occur when you are relaxed and your mind is quiet. Theta waves happen when you are drowsy or asleep. Delta waves are present during deep sleep.

PrTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. This can alter brainwave activity and help to relieve certain conditions like depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and migraines. PrTMS is a non-invasive procedure with few side effects. It is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and is being studied for other conditions as well.

How PrTMS works

PrTMS is a unique approach to neuromodulation that uses EEG data to analyze a patient’s brainwaves and create a custom PrTMS treatment plan. This approach is designed to restore balance and correct brainwave disruptions that may contribute to many conditions.

To begin, our qualified staff will review a patient’s medical history and symptoms. Then, an EEG will be used to collect brainwave data. This data will be analyzed to create a map of the activity in the brain.

Using the map and neurocognitive test scores, the provider will construct a personalized PrTMS treatment plan. The plan will be verified and approved by the provider before being carried out.

Evaluate and map your brain function

A brain map, also called an electroencephalogram (EEG), can help doctors evaluate and better understand your brain function. This test is quick, painless, and noninvasive. It measures your brainwave activity through sensors placed on your scalp, and provides objective data about your brain health.

In addition to the EEG, you will also be asked to fill out patient questionnaires. These provide subjective, qualitative data about your symptoms and how they affect your daily life. The combination of objective and subjective data forms a more complete picture of your brain health.

If you are experiencing any neurological symptoms, or if you have a family history of neurological disorders, talk to your doctor about getting an EEG. It could be the first step in getting the help you need.

Data Analysis

The data collected in step 1 is used to generate a treatment plan tailored specifically to you, which is then verified and approved by a qualified PrTMS provider.

Application of PrTMS Therapy

PrTMS therapy is performed according to your custom treatment plan.

During treatment, you will relax in a comfortable chair while the TMS device is positioned near your head and energy is applied.
