Treatment Using Individualized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033534 titled 'Treatment Using Individualized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems and methods for treating a mental disorder in a subject. The methods involve receiving electroencephalography (EEG) measurements that correspond to brain activity in different zones of the subject's brain. Based on these measurements, a target frequency is determined, which represents the optimal operating frequency of the subject's brain across multiple EEG channels in an alpha brainwave. A treatment protocol is then generated for the subject, which includes individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatments. These treatments involve applying magnetic stimulation pulses at the target frequency for a defined time period.
- The patent application focuses on treating mental disorders using EEG measurements and TMS treatments.
- EEG measurements are used to determine the target frequency, which represents the optimal operating frequency of the subject's brain.
- The treatment protocol includes individualized TMS treatments that apply magnetic stimulation pulses at the target frequency.
- The TMS treatments are applied for a defined time period to effectively treat the mental disorder.
Potential Applications:
- Treatment of various mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- Personalized treatment plans for individuals based on their specific brain activity patterns.
- Non-invasive treatment option for mental disorders.
Problems Solved:
- Lack of personalized treatment options for mental disorders.
- Limited effectiveness of traditional treatment methods.
- Invasive procedures and medications with potential side effects.
Benefits:
- Improved treatment outcomes for mental disorders.
- Non-invasive and safe treatment option.
- Personalized treatment plans based on individual brain activity patterns.
Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods for treatment of a mental disorder of a subject are disclosed. the methods include receiving a first set of electroencephalography (“eeg”) measurements that each correspond to brain activity at one or more of a plurality of zones of a brain of the subject. the methods further include determining a target frequency for the subject based on the first set of eeg measurement where, the target frequency being an eeg frequency where the brain of the subject operates optimally across a plurality of eeg channels in an alpha brainwave, and generating a treatment protocol for the subject based on the target frequency. the treatment protocol includes one or more individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) treatments that each include application a plurality of magnetic stimulation pulses for a defined time period and at a frequency of about the target frequency.
