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.
