tms for chronic pain

According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 51 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, with nearly 7% experiencing severe pain that negatively affects daily activities.

Chronic pain can be caused by various factors including:

  • Injuries
  • Nerve damage
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Neurological imbalances

Pain often becomes a chronic condition when it lasts longer than the normal healing period of three to six months.

Common Chronic Pain Symptoms

Chronic pain symptoms are more extreme than occasional physical discomfort and can have a significant impact on daily living.

  • Continuous aching, soreness, or stabbing sensations
  • Muscle tension and stiffness
  • Limited mobility and range of motion
  • Fatigue and trouble sleeping
  • Depression, anxiety, and mood issues
  • Difficulty concentrating or focusing mentally
  • Cognitive impairment
  • Irritability
  • Decreased productivity
  • Poor quality of life

 

Traditional chronic pain treatment methods vary depending on the specific causes and symptoms. Typical approaches include pain medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Why TMS is Used for Chronic Pain Treatment

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a safe therapy approach without the side effects associated with medications or other treatment methods.

Chronic pain can disrupt normal brain and nervous system processing and sensory perception.

Pain medications don’t work for everyone, and many people experience chronic pain that is resistant to conventional treatment. Others develop unhealthy medication side effects with some types of prescription drugs.

Pain medications only provide temporary relief and require continuous use to maintain effectiveness. TMS for chronic pain can provide a quicker solution than other treatments and offers continued relief after completing the appropriate therapy sessions.

TMS targets specific areas of the brain to reduce the intensity and duration of pain more effectively than medication alone. It also improves healing when combined with conventional pain treatments.

Alyne Wellness uses Personalized Repetitive TMS (PrTMS) for chronic pain treatment that offers advanced features not available with traditional TMS therapy.

How TMS for Chronic Pain Treatment Works

TMS treatment for chronic pain uses electromagnetic pulses to directly stimulate areas of the brain related to pain processing and nerve cell excitability. It works in the same way as TMS therapy for headaches and migraines, and other neurological conditions.

PrTMS at Alyne Wellness begins with a brainwave assessment not available with other TMS providers.

The TMS device is then placed over the head to deliver magnetic pulses that stimulate areas of brain to rebalance pain signals.

The treatment settings are customized for the unique needs of each client for improved healing of chronic pain symptoms. Personalized Repetitive TMS uses the most effective frequency and intensity of magnetic pulses for optimal pain relief and recovery.

TMS stimulation regulates activity in specific regions of the brain to interrupt the pain cycle and reduce nerve cell excitability that contributes to chronic pain.

Personalized Repetitive TMS offers more precise targeting than other forms of transcranial magnetic stimulation for chronic pain conditions.

PrTMS treatment for chronic pain can improve the following symptoms:

Benefits of TMS for Chronic Pain Compared to Other Therapies

Personalized Repetitive TMS for chronic pain provides benefits not found with medications and other treatment methods.

  1. Healthier Alternative to Medications

Pain medications are one of the most common forms of chronic paint treatment, but unfortunately, many patients develop a medication tolerance, dependency, or loss of  effectiveness after long-term use.

Prescription drugs aren’t the right solution for everyone, and some individuals experience adverse side effects, making TMS a healthier alternative.

  1. Safe and Non-Invasive Therapy

TMS is a safe treatment therapy that doesn’t require the use of surgery or other invasive approaches, and our clients resume normal daily activities after each session.

  1. Treatment-Resistant Approach

People who are treatment-resistant to traditional chronic pain therapies often find relief with transcranial magnetic stimulation for managing persistent symptoms. TMS can be a viable alternative when conventional treatments have failed.

  1. Precise Targeting

Unlike other chronic pain treatments that affect the entire body, TMS is highly targeted to stimulate only the areas of the brain involved in pain processing. This precise targeting reduces the risk of unhealthy side effects.

  1. Works Quickly

Chronic pain medications and other therapies can take weeks or longer to show results, but it’s common for TMS patients to notice improvement very quickly after starting treatment.

  1. Long-Term Effects

Pain medications cease working immediately after a person stops taking them. The effects of TMS continue to work after treatment sessions have finished, with many people reporting reduced pain frequency and intensity long after completing treatment.

  1. Personalized Treatment

Alyne Wellness uses Personalized Repetitive TMS combined with EEG brainwave and neurocognitive assessments that are individualized for each patient’s unique condition. Our continuous monitoring and adjustments are not offered by other TMS treatment providers.

  1. Improved Quality of Life

TMS for chronic pain reduces the frequency, intensity, and duration of symptoms, while improving cognitive function, productivity, and overall quality of life.
