TRANSCRANIAL STIMULATION

It is known that very often in mental illnesses (such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, various other disorders and developmental disorders of the central nervous system), abnormalities are detected during encephalographic studies of the brain.

We call such abnormalities “neuromarkers”.

Neuromarkers are abnormal areas of excessive excitation or inhibition in the patient’s brain. To correct these abnormal areas and return them to normal, we use transcranial stimulation.

Transcranial electrical stimulation is a non-invasive (not associated with penetration through the natural external barriers of the body) and non-drug physiotherapeutic method, in which extremely weak currents of special characteristics are applied through electrodes placed on the patient’s head.

This method combines well with other treatment methods and is therefore often carried out in conjunction with the main line of treatment.

General treatment plan:

  1. We do electroencephalography of the patient’s brain
  2. Next, we perform mathematical processing of electroencephalography data and identify abnormal areas
  3. Based on electroencephalography data, we create an individual treatment plan (individual file of transcranial stimulation signal, location of electrodes)
  4. Treatment sessions are carried out. The number of treatment sessions varies for each patient, usually 10-15 sessions.

Treatment sessions proceed as follows:

  • The patient sits in a comfortable chair, a cap is placed on the patient’s head, and electrodes are placed.
  • An individual signal for each patient is sent to the electrodes. The signal current is low, comparable to the current from a conventional AA battery.
  • The patient feels a slight tingling and pressure at the points where the electrodes are applied.
  • The session lasts 30 minutes.

Transcranial electrical stimulation very often achieves excellent results in a short time, usually symptom relief occurs after the first session.
