TMS is a safe, effective, non-drug treatment for Depression, Anxious Depression, and OCD. It uses precise magnetic pulses to stimulate and target critical underactive areas of the brain. Neurotransmitters, chemical messengers, send signals and play a significant role in mood regulation helping to reduce or even eliminate symptoms.

The PrTMS therapeutic approach uses brainwave analysis through an EEG to measure patient’s brain activity. This patient specific data is used to create a treatment plan personalized to each patient’s unique brain. Patients’ brain function is evaluated weekly during the course of the treatment plan, and therapy is modified from session to session to provide each patient with optimal results. This, combined with the patient’s self-assessed neurocognitive symptom scores, reveals a more complete picture of a patient’s brain health.

TMS and PrTMS therapy is easy, under 20 mins, and accessible for patients at all Alleviant Integrated Mental Health locations. TMS & PrTMS have been used in patients with a wide variety of conditions, including those that may not have responded to medication in the past. Talk to your doctor to see if TMS or PrTMS is right for you.

• All you have to do is show up and recline in a comfortable spa-like chair
• A small curved magnet is placed lightly on your head
• You remain awake, may feel tapping, and will hear a clicking sound
• Return to daily activities immediately

Key benefits include:

• Effective: 83% response, 62% remission rates
• SAFE: low risk of side effects. Numerous studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy

1. PrTMS begins by collecting patient responses to neurocognitive surveys and an electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure electrical activity in the brain. The EEG takes a recording in less than 5 minutes — without the use of wires or gels. It simultaneously records activity in 19 different functional regions of the brain that control different activities, emotions, and skills. This provides objective, quantitative brain function data, which is used to create a dose-optimized treatment plan.

2. The EEG results show how many neurons are active and at what frequency in specific areas of the brain. The ideal frequency range for neurons is between 8-12 hertz. An excess of neurons operating outside of the normal range can indicate a variety of different conditions.

When the brain suffers trauma – whether from radiation, tumors, surgery, chemotherapy, physical injury (concussion), emotional trauma, or even acute/chronic sleep deprivation, affected neurons go into a state of “self-preservation” and slow their firing-rate or brainwave frequency. When neurons fire at different frequencies this creates a “brain arrhythmia,” which is believed by some to lead to a variety of observable mental and physical symptoms.

3. This patient specific data is used to create a TMS treatment plan, including treatment frequencies, locations, and other parameters, personalized to each patient’s unique brain.

Through PrTMS techniques, outlying neurons are stimulated at 10 hertz, forcing them to fire at and return to their optimum range.

An EEG is performed weekly to evaluate the patients’ brain function during the course of treatment and therapy sessions are continually modified over time based on the patient’s unique biometric data to provide each individual with optimal results. This, combined with the patient’s self-assessed neurocognitive symptom scores, reveals a more complete picture of a patient’s brain health.

A PrTMS treatment plan designed to restore brain wave synchronicity is then generated — tailored specifically to that patient’s unique brain mapping. The goal of PrTMS is to get brain waves harmonized and firing at about 10 hertz without pharmaceuticals or external stimuli.
