TMS Therapy for Concussions and Post-Concussion Syndrome

According to Cleveland Clinic, between 1.6 million and 4 million people experience concussions each year in the United States, and approximately 15% of them will develop post-concussion syndrome (PCS).

Revolutionary Treatment Approach

Traditional treatments provide relief for some people, while others are affected by symptoms lasting for weeks, months, or longer that impact daily functioning and quality of life.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a new approach for treating concussions and PCS symptoms.

Specialized Personalized Care

Alyne Wellness offers a specialized form of Personalized Repetitive TMS Therapy for concussions and post-concussion syndrome caused by accidents, sporting events, and traumatic injuries to the brain and skull.

Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome Symptoms

Concussions occur due to a head injury that causes the brain to rapidly move within the skull. Symptoms usually last for several weeks for most people, while others have lingering side effects known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS).

Lasting headaches or migraines

Sensitivity to light or sounds

Dizziness and balance issues

Brain fog

Difficulty focusing or concentrating

Irritability, anxiety, or depression

Sleep problems and fatigue

Nausea

Memory issues

Struggles with school or work

Traditional Treatment Methods

Concussions and post-concussion syndrome are generally treated the same way and include the following:

Rest and avoiding strenuous physical activity

Medications to reduce headache pain and improve mood

Therapies to reduce stress and anxiety

Maintaining a good sleep schedule

A gradual return to normal activities

The severity and duration of symptoms will vary for each person. If the symptoms persist, additional treatment therapies should be explored.

TMS Therapy for Post-Concussion Syndrome and Concussions

Advanced Therapeutic Approach

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an advanced therapy that has shown to be successful when medications and other treatment methods have not been effective.

Concussions and post-concussion syndrome can interrupt normal brain functioning, cognitive processing, neurotransmitter activity, pain signals, and mood.

TMS therapy stimulates areas of the brain associated with the injury to correct neurological imbalances and promote healing.

Why Choose TMS?

Traditional therapies only provide temporary relief of the symptoms, and some individuals are treatment-resistant to medications or experience negative side effects.

TMS is a safe and non-invasive treatment approach that offers lasting benefits and works well for people who do not respond to medications or other therapies.

Alyne Wellness uses a state-of-the-art form of TMS, known as Personalized Repetitive TMS (PrTMS). PrTMS for concussions and post-concussion syndrome offers advanced assessments and protocols not offered with conventional TMS therapy.

How TMS Treatment for Concussions and Post-Concussion Syndrome Works

TMS for concussions and PCS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate regions of the brain associated with the brain injury.

It works in a similar way as TMS for migraines and headaches, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and other conditions.

PrTMS sessions at Alyne Wellness begin with an individualized brainwave and neurocognitive assessment this is not offered by other TMS providers.

Assessment

Personalized Treatment Protocols

After the assessment, the TMS device is placed over the head and delivers targeted magnetic pulses to modulate and rebalance abnormal brain activity disrupted by the concussion.

This normalizes brain function related to pain, mood, cognitive processing, and sleep, while speeding up the healing process.

TMS can improve the following Concussion and PCS symptoms:

Headache intensity and duration

Concentration, focus, and memory

Benefits of TMS for Concussions and PCS Compared to Other Therapies

Personalized Repetitive TMS for concussions and post-concussion syndrome offers benefits not found with medications or other treatment approaches.

Some people don’t respond well to medications, while others experience negative side effects, unhealthy drug interactions, or other issues. TMS is a drug-free treatment therapy that has no medication side effects and works when medications are not effective.

TMS is a non-invasive therapy that does not require surgery, anesthesia, or implants used for stimulating the brain. As an outpatient treatment, patients return to normal activities after each session with no downtime.

TMS is often effective for individuals who have not found relief with traditional concussion therapies or those who experience prolonged post-concussion syndrome symptoms.

Unlike medications that can affect all areas of the body, TMS is highly targeted to only stimulate the regions of the brain directly related to the concussion injury and healing.

Many individuals notice an improvement in the way they feel shortly after beginning TMS therapy, with positive effects lasting long after treatment has been completed.

Alyne Wellness uses advanced PrTMS protocols that are specifically tailored to each person’s brain injury causes and symptoms. Our personalized assessment and treatment approach is not offered with conventional TMS therapy.

TMS therapy for concussions and post-concussion syndrome targets precise brain areas affected by the injury to accelerate healing, reduce the severity and duration of the symptoms, and improve cognitive processing and mood.
