Understanding PTSD & PrTMS®: Your Questions Answered

What triggers PTSD?

PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event, or even learning about trauma affecting a loved one. Common triggers include:

  • Military combat

  • Acts of violence (gun violence, assault)

  • Sexual assault

  • Serious accidents

  • Natural disasters

  • The sudden loss of a loved one

What are the symptoms of PTSD?

PTSD can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Flashbacks, intrusive memories, or nightmares

  • Heightened anxiety, hypervigilance, and easy startle response

  • Avoidance of places or people associated with the trauma

  • Feelings of guilt, depression, or self-blame

How does PrTMS® address PTSD?

PrTMS® uses personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target the brain areas affected by PTSD. We tailor the treatment through a three-step process:

  1. Brainwave Mapping (EEG): We use EEG and AI to create a detailed map of your brain's electrical activity, identifying any disruptions.

  2. Symptom Assessment: A comprehensive questionnaire helps us understand your specific symptoms and tailor treatment accordingly.

  3. Customized Treatment Plan: Our AI software analyzes your data to create a personalized PrTMS® protocol.

What to expect during PrTMS® treatment:

  • Treatment consists of five 30-minute sessions per week for 6-8 weeks.

  • You can resume normal activities immediately after each session.

  • We monitor your progress with ongoing EEGs, adjusting treatment as needed.

  • Many patients experience symptom improvement within weeks, and some see results sooner.
