Sleep disorders impact a vast number of adults, with 50-70 million experiencing chronic issues and nearly 40% struggling with daytime sleepiness. At the Vancouver Brain Treatment Clinic, we offer a unique solution: personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (PrTMS®). This innovative therapy targets and corrects the abnormal brain activity linked to sleep disorders. Discover if PrTMS® can help you achieve restful sleep.

Understanding Sleep Disorders & PrTMS®: Your Questions Answered
Why are sleep disorders a serious health concern?
Sleep deprivation affects every aspect of your well-being, impacting:
Cognitive Function: Impaired memory, difficulty concentrating, and poor decision-making.
Emotional Health: Increased irritability and difficulty regulating emotions.
Physical Health: Increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, weight gain, and diabetes.
Daily Life: Fatigue, reduced work/school performance, and increased risk of accidents, including driving-related incidents.
How does PrTMS® address sleep disorders?
PrTMS® uses personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target the brainwave patterns associated with sleep disorders. We customize treatment through a three-step process:
Brainwave Mapping (EEG): We use EEG and AI to create a detailed map of your brain's electrical activity, identifying any disruptions.
Symptom Assessment: A comprehensive questionnaire helps us understand your specific symptoms and tailor treatment accordingly.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Our AI software analyzes your data to create a customized 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.

PrTMS for Anxiety
Utilizing PrTMS® to treat the disrupted brainwaves that are the source of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder
PrTMS for Depression
PrTMS® is an alternative treatment fo patients with major depressive disorder who have not responded to antidepressants.
PrTMS for PTSD
PrTMS® is a customized and drug-free treatment that can improve brain function in areas affected by PTSD.
PrTMS for ADHD
PrTMS® is an effective, noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to restore normal brain activity to relieve symptoms of ADHD.
