How PrTMS Works

PrTMS is pain-free, drug-free and noninvasive. An EEG is taken once every five days, the data gathered is used to develop a unique treatment protocol calibrated specifically to the individual patient. During each treatment session, an electromagnetic coil is placed near the patient’s scalp at five to six distinct locations on the head. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates the brain’s neurons, activating these areas of the brain that cause ASD.

Our Process

Gather Data

First, we gather data by performing a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG). These studies measure the patient’s brain wave frequencies, heart rate and brain-heart coherence – indicating what areas of the brain are not functioning properly and help us determine how the brain should be operating. 

Analyze

Next, our team of highly trained scientists analyze the data to determine how the patient’s brain is currently functioning and create a personalized patient-specific protocol that reorganizes the brain signals. 

Administer

We then administer Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. With the patient relaxing in a comfortable chair, we place a magnetic coil – a neuromodulation device that stimulates nerves and modulates abnormal neural pathway behaviors caused by the disease process – on the precise location of the brain that lacks optimal functioning as determined by our data. The magnetic coil emits a magnetic field that is painlessly delivered to the targeted area of the brain. Our clinicians use this FDA-approved equipment and standards off-label.

The treatment takes 20 minutes. Most patients are treated five times a week – Monday through Friday – for six to 12 weeks.

We gather additional data and analyze the patient’s progress by performing qEEQ and EKG every week. The data is compared to previous findings to determine progress and the treatment’s path forward.
