Patients remain awake and comfortable throughout the entire session and may wear earplugs while seated in the treatment chair. A trained TMS/PrTMS® technician positions the magnetic coil over the head based on the location or locations identified during the the initial assessment.
The PrTMS® device is placed against the scalp at precise locations designed to deliver personalized magnetic stimulation to specific areas of the brain.
During treatment, the device produces a series of clicking sounds, and most patients feel a gentle tapping sensation on the scalp as magnetic pulses are delivered. The stimulation occurs in short intervals, followed by brief pauses before resuming.
TMS/PrTMS® sessions typically last between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the individual's treatment plan, condition, and clinical needs.
Most patients receive multiple sessions each week as part of their personalized treatment program. Approximately every five treatment sessions, a follow-up EEG assessment is performed to evaluate progress and monitor changes in brain activity. This information helps guide adjustments to treatment targeting, frequency, and intensity as needed.
Many patients begin noticing improvements within the first several sessions, with continued progress often occurring throughout the course of treatment.
Because TMS/PrTMS® is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia or recovery time, patients can typically return to their normal daily activities immediately after each session.
The PrTMS® treatment process is more thorough and detailed than traditional TMS Therapy, using advanced assessments and ongoing monitoring to personalize care throughout treatment.
The process begins with a comprehensive EEG brainwave assessment and clinical evaluation. This assessment helps identify patterns of brain activity that may be associated with the symptoms or challenges an individual is experiencing.
Using information gathered from the assessment, a customized treatment plan is developed. The plan is designed to determine the appropriate treatment locations, stimulation settings, session frequency, and overall course of care.
Before treatment begins, the assessment findings and recommended treatment plan are reviewed by a qualified provider to ensure the approach is appropriate for the individual's needs.
Treatment sessions involve delivering gentle magnetic stimulation to specific areas of the brain identified through the EEG assessment. Sessions are typically completed over a series of weeks according to the personalized treatment plan.
One of the unique features of PrTMS® is the use of ongoing EEG assessments throughout the treatment process. Approximately every five treatment sessions, a follow-up EEG is performed to evaluate progress and monitor changes in brain activity. This information is used to make adjustments to treatment targeting and stimulation settings when needed, helping keep the treatment personalized throughout the course of care.
PrTMS® uses advanced technologies and clinical assessments to evaluate brainwave activity, identify irregular patterns, and create a personalized treatment approach.
Evaluates activity across 19 regions of the brain related to mood, emotions, cognition, and attention.
Provides valuable information regarding symptoms, treatment goals, and areas requiring support.
Advanced algorithms analyze assessment data and assist with individualized treatment planning.
Ongoing EEG assessments help monitor progress and guide treatment adjustments throughout care.
PrTMS® uses EEG Brain Mapping technology to evaluate each person's unique brainwave activity and identify irregular neurological patterns that may contribute to symptoms.
The assessment is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Small sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brainwave activity across multiple regions of the brain.
This information helps create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each individual's neurological profile.
Patients remain awake and comfortable throughout the entire session while a trained PrTMS® technician positions the magnetic coil according to the personalized treatment plan.
Relax in a comfortable chair throughout the session.
The magnetic coil is positioned based on EEG assessment findings.
Gentle magnetic pulses are delivered to targeted regions of the brain.
There is no downtime and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Unlike traditional approaches that often follow fixed protocols, PrTMS® continuously evaluates patient progress and adjusts treatment parameters based on real-time data and ongoing EEG assessments.
Regular EEG evaluations help identify changes in brainwave activity throughout treatment.
Treatment recommendations are guided by measurable neurological data and patient progress.
Frequency, intensity, and targeting locations can be adjusted throughout treatment.
Every treatment plan evolves based on the individual's unique response and goals.
Ongoing monitoring allows PrTMS® providers to make informed adjustments throughout treatment, helping create a more personalized care experience.
