Brain Arrhythmia
Disrupted Brainwaves
In the simplest terms, brainwaves are disrupted when they become out of sync with one another. This can be depicted above as a flattened peak, multiple peaks, and/or a vast range of other discrepancies in wave formation – which all may mean very different things.
To understand this, we must first take a look at the basics of human brainwave activity. Brainwave frequencies are measured in Hertz (Hz) and depending on what frequency your brain is operating at, you feel different levels of alertness. For example, if your brain is operating at Delta speed (0.1-3 Hz), you are most likely sleeping. If you are operating at Gamma speed (31-100 Hz) you are experiencing the highest level of alertness and more than likely in a situation that requires it. But the frequency we are most interested in is our Alpha frequency. This ranges from 8-12 Hertz and is the state in which the mind is awake, but relaxed. We focus on this resting state because, ideally, 80% of our waking hours are spent there.
Treating the Source
Millions with diagnosed mental and physical health challenges related to brain function are subject to therapies that provide symptom management only. PrTMS®, on the other hand, is designed to treat the source, not just the symptoms.
What makes PrTMS® different from TMS?
TMS is a drug-free, non-invasive therapy that has been evolving and advancing for decades. TMS treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate electrical activity in the brain’s neurons. Non-personalized versions of this therapy have been cleared by the FDA for use in treating a limited number of conditions, including Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and pain associated with certain migraine headaches.
Personalized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS®) is TMS – but with a smarter, more sophisticated approach. Unlike conventional TMS that is one-size-fits-all, PrTMS® utilizes a proprietary, patent-pending protocol to develop personalized treatment plans that customize the TMS therapy delivered to each patient – which may help patients achieve optimal results. PrTMS® may be successful in treating a variety of brain health conditions.
We aim to combat brain arrhythmia directly in order to optimize each individual’s brain function to the degree and specifications they personally require. We do this by continually acquiring both qualitative and quantitative data to ensure personalization throughout the duration of each patient’s course of treatment.
We believe neuromodulation of the brain’s waveforms is possible, and the customized approach offered by Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS®) therapy may provide patients with optimal results. Daily treatment with PrTMS® is designed to assist brain waves in becoming re-aligned to a stable or more balanced state.
