rTMS Therapy at Neurosync Brain Treatment Centre

What to Expect During rTMS Therapy

Initial Assessment and Consultation

At Neurosync Brain Treatment Centre, we take a personalized and comprehensive approach to your care, beginning with a thorough initial assessment. This critical step ensures that your rTMS therapy is tailored to your unique needs and brain activity.

During the consultation, we conduct advanced diagnostic evaluations, including a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) and EKG (electrocardiogram). These non-invasive tests provide detailed insights into your brainwave patterns, brain-heart coherence, and heart rate. The data is then processed through our specialized platform, comparing your brain activity against a database of nearly 30,000 recordings to identify specific areas of dysfunction.

The resulting analysis allows us to create a precise, individualized treatment plan based on your brain’s unique map. This initial consultation, lasting approximately one hour, is the foundation for effective and targeted therapy. 

The rTMS Treatment Session Experience

During your first appointment, we perform a mapping process. Clients are taken into our treatment room, seated in a reclining chair, and given earplugs to wear during the session. During a session, clients can expect:

• While receiving treatment, they will wear the earplugs with the magnetic coil put on their head. The coils’ location differs depending on your initial exam results.
• The machine is turned on. Clients hear and feel a quick tapping sensation on their scalp. The treatment follows a pattern of tapping lasting a few seconds and then a pause. Clients remain alert throughout the procedure.
• Treatments are provided daily for five days per week. Each treatment lasts one month, and sessions are 30 minutes long.

Sessions Required for Optimal Results

Clients remain awake during the sessions and can resume normal activities following treatments without requiring anesthesia or medication. They stay comfortably seated in a recliner during treatments. 

Monitoring Progress and Adjusting Treatment

After three weeks, clients receive an additional ten-minute recording to examine changes in their brainwave activity. After ten days, it is objectively measured using sequential recordings. Clinical progress is measured using third-party neurocognitive assessments, instruments, and questionnaires.
