ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that can cause issues with attention, concentration, learning, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

The CDC estimates that 7 million children between the ages of 3 and 17 years old in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD, as well as many more adults.

Nearly 80-percent of those with ADHD also have a co-occurring condition such as anxiety, depression, a learning disability, or behavioral issues.

Conventional ADHD treatment often includes medication combined with cognitive, behavioral, and occupational therapies, among others.

Stimulant medications such as Adderall, Vyvanse, and Ritalin, or non-stimulants like Clonidine aren’t well-tolerated or effective for some people and may create unhealthy side effects.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is drug-free approach that stimulates the brain to improve focus, mood, and cognitive function for a variety of brain irregularities.

Alyne Wellness uses a specialized form of Personalized Repetitive TMS for ADHD, called PrTMS, to reduce the symptoms and rebalance the brain to function properly.

Why is TMS Used for ADHD?

TMS for ADHD is a safe and non-invasive therapy to help with ADHD symptoms when medications and other treatments have been unsuccessful.

It also works well as a complementary therapy when used in conjunction with other forms of treatment.

ADHD is a genetic condition that can be caused by irregular activity in areas of the brain that control attention or behavior, and neurotransmitter imbalances that affect mood and motivation.

TMS Therapy treats the root causes of ADHD in the brain and not just the symptoms like conventional treatment methods.

It offers a safer alternative to medications, and for many people it is more successful because it directly stimulates parts of the brain associated learning, focus, and attention.

This non-invasive approach does not require anesthesia, implants , or surgery, and it does not have any stimulant medication side effects such as sleep issues and addiction.

How Does TMS Therapy Help With ADHD?

how does tms work for ADHD

TMS therapy for ADHD uses highly targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate regions of the brain associated with attention deficits, poor cognitive function, mood, and behavior.

During a typical therapy session, a magnetic coil is placed over the individual’s head that delivers electromagnetic pulses at the desired frequency to rebalance and heal areas of the brain related to ADHD.

The magnetic pulses will either excite or inhibit unhealthy brain activity according to the patient’s needs and assessment.

Stimulating precise areas of the brain and properly modulating nerve cells improves neural communication, reduces excitability, and positively regulates emotions and behavior.

PrTMS therapy for ADHD at Alyne Wellness is a specialized form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation that uses EEG Brain Mapping to target 19 different areas of the brain for the most successful outcome.

We continuously monitor and refine the parameters as treatment progresses for improved healing. Learn more about how PrTMS works here.

Benefits of TMS for ADHD

Compared to Traditional Treatment

Non-Invasive Treatment

PrTMS Therapy is non-invasive and does not require surgery or implants used with other forms of brain stimulation.

Medication-Resistant ADHD

TMS Therapy is ideal for individuals with medication-resistant ADHD who have not found improvement using drugs like Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin, or others.

Targeted Brain Stimulation

TMS only targets areas of the brain associated with ADHD symptoms and no other areas of the body.

No Medication Side Effects

TMS does not have any side effects associated with ADHD stimulant medications like Adderall that can interfere with sleep and appetite, and there is no risk of addiction, withdrawal, or adverse drug interactions.

Fast Acting

TMS therapy for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder acts more quickly than behavioral therapies and medications that may take months to show improvement. Some people report reduced symptoms after only a few sessions.

Lasting Improvement

Medications stop working immediately after they are discontinued, whereas TMS treatment for ADHD offers lasting improvement of  symptoms for many people after treatment sessions have been completed.

If necessary, additional maintenance sessions can be performed at any time.

TMS directly targets overactive or underactive regions of the brain for long-term healing and recovery.  

Other therapies only treat the symptoms temporarily and not the root cause of the issue.

Quick Return to Normal Actvities

PrTMS for ADHD at Alyne Wellness is an outpatient therapy that does not require anesthesia and allows patients to quickly return to normal activities after each session.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an ideal alternative to help with ADHD when medication or other therapies have not been successful.

It is a safe and powerful ADHD brain therapy without the unhealthy side effects of medications.

By treating the causes instead of simply focusing on the symptoms, TMS offers many benefits not found with other treatment methods.
