A stroke on the right side of the brain will cause issues with the left side of the body, and vice versa.

Post-stroke rehabilitation is often necessary to help rewire the brain and restore proper cognitive function.

Stroke Causes and Symptoms

According to the CDC, 795,000 people in the United States experience a stroke each year at the rate of one every 40 seconds.

A stroke occurs when blood flow is interrupted and deprives the brain of oxygen and nutrients.

An Ischemic Stroke is caused by a blockage, while a Hemorrhagic Stroke is the result of bleeding or a burst blood vessel.

Common Stroke Symptoms

  • Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
  • Difficulty with speech and language
  • Trouble with balance and coordination
  • Vision problems
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Cognitive impairment or memory loss 

Traditional Stroke Therapy Treatment Methods

Depending on the type and severity of the brain dysfunction, post-stroke rehabilitation usually involves a combination of physical, occupational, speech, and lifestyle therapies for recovery. Medications can be helpful for some symptoms.

Physical Therapy focuses on movement, strength, coordination, and balance

Occupational Therapy addresses daily living activities

Speech Therapy helps improve speech, language, and swallowing difficulties

Lifestyle Interventions promote exercise, proper diet, sleep, and stress management

Medications are useful for managing blood pressure, clotting, and may help with depression and mental health issues

While these treatments can be effective for many people, they may not fully address the underlying brain dysfunction for everyone.

Post-stroke rehabilitation can take time, and some individuals may plateau or experience ongoing deficits that require additional therapy approaches.

PrTMS Therapy for Post Stroke Rehabilitation

Personalized Repetitive TMS (PrTMS) is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain involved in movement, language, and cognitive function.

For some stroke survivors, the uninjured side of the brain becomes overactive and impedes recovery on the affected side. TMS Therapy rebalances brain activity to  improve healing and recovery.

PrTMS at Alyne Wellness begins with EEG brain mapping to identify the most appropriate areas of the brain for stimulation. Each session is evaluated and adjusted based on the client’s needs and progress.

Treatment is tailored to each individual and targets the precise areas where neural activity has been disrupted by a stroke.

This normalizes brain activity, strengthens synaptic connections, and promotes neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.

By targeting specific brain regions, PrTMS helps restore neural pathways involved in movement, speech, cognitive abilities, and memory. It works well when combined with other treatment approaches and even for individuals who have not responded well to other therapies.

The treatment is similar to TMS therapy for dementia, concussions, brain fog, and other mental health issues.

Benefits of TMS Stroke Therapy vs Other Methods

Personalized Repetitive TMS for post stroke rehabilitation offers significant benefits compared to conventional therapies. Personalized Repetitive TMS for post stroke rehabilitation offers significant benefits compared to conventional therapies.

  • Safe and Non-invasive

PrTMS does not require surgery, anesthesia, or implants. It is performed in our office as an outpatient treatment, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after each session.

  • No Medication Side Effects

Unlike medications and pharmacological treatments, PrTMS has no risk of drug interactions or unhealthy side effects such as nausea, dizziness, or brain fog.

  • Targeted Therapy

PrTMS targets only the brain regions affected by a stroke, without affecting the entire body like some medications. The precise brain targeting increases the effectiveness of therapy. 

  • Faster Improvements

Some patients notice improvements in coordination, speech, and mood much faster than with other therapies and medications, which may require months of dosage adjustments and can cause side effects.

  • Effective for Treatment-Resistant Cases

PrTMS can offer hope for patients who have not experienced sufficient improvement with conventional therapies or medications.

  • Long-Lasting Results

PrTMS targets the causes and not just the symptoms. It promotes neuroplasticity and brain improvements that last longer than medications, which only temporarily mask the symptoms.

  • Complements Other Therapies

PrTMS can be combined with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as medications, without the need to stop other treatments. For many people, it enhances the effectiveness of other therapies.

  • Customized for Each Patient

PrTMS uses an EEG brain mapping assessment to identify and address the unique neurological needs of each patient. The EEG results are monitored and adjusted as recovery progresses to ensure optimal healing and recovery.

By addressing the root causes of post-stroke deficits and promoting neuroplasticity and brain healing, PrTMS offers new hope for recovery, especially when other treatments have not provided favorable results.
