New TMS research: Effects of 52 weeks of precuneus rTMS in Alzheimer’s disease patients: a randomized trial Article states, "Personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the precuneus (PC) is emerging as a new non-invasive therapeutic approach in treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here we sought to investigate the effects of 52 weeks of rTMS applied over the PC on cognitive functions in patients with mild-to-moderate dementia due to AD.." Results: "Among 48 patients randomized (mean age 72.8 years; 56% women), 32 (68%) completed the study. Repetitive TMS of the PC (PC-rTMS) had a significant effect on the primary outcome measure. The estimated mean change in CDR-SB after 52 week was 1.36 for PC-rTMS (95% confidence interval (CI) [0.68, 2.04]) and 2.45 for sham-rTMS group (95%CI [1.85, 3.05]). There were also significant effects for the secondary outcomes ADAS-Cog11, ADCS-ADL and NPI scores. Stronger DMN connectivity at baseline was associated with favorable response to rTMS treatment." rTMS was carried out using a Magstim Rapid2 magnetic biphasic stimulator connected with a 70-mm diameter figure-of-eight coil (Magstim Company, Whitland, UK). #TMS #alzheimers #brain #neurotech Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gFhDNh49

Major TMS News: FDA CLEARS MAGSTIM TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION SYSTEM FOR U.S. ADOLESCENT PATIENT TREATMENT Adolescent patients ages 15-21 can now receive non-invasive TMS for treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD)* Major depression impacts more than 5 million U.S. adolescents every year, and NIH data shows that 20% of those aged 12 to 16 have had at least one major depressive episode*. The FDA has now cleared the Magstim Horizon 3.0 and Inspire Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Systems for treating adolescent patients aged 15-21 for MDD, providing a non-invasive, non-pharmacological technology to improve care. “For adolescents struggling with depression, treatment options like antidepressants may not work for or be wanted by all patients,” said Dr. Eric Robbins, Blue Umbrella Psychiatry. “TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of MDD. TMS technology has helped our adult patients improve their quality of life and we are excited to offer this for our adolescent patients.” This FDA clearance for the Magstim Horizon 3.0 and Inspire systems builds on the existing patient TMS clearances for adult patients, making it possible for physicians and nurse practitioners to treat adolescent patients and gain authorization from insurance providers. Magstim is now the only TMS system which can treat MDD, Anxious Depression, OCD, and Adolescent Depression with a single treatment coil. “Adolescents and the health professionals who care for them need support, innovation and tools to treat depression,” said Ronnie Stolec-Campo rhonda stolec-campo, CEO, Magstim. “Through this FDA approval, thousands of adolescent patients with depression will be able to take advantage of our nonpharmacologic advanced technology.” Practices with current Magstim Horizon systems can begin treating adolescents immediately, following standard patient care protocols. *NIH Source: https://lnkd.in/gejk5K2X *WHO Source: https://lnkd.in/ezDnAMe *Horizon 3.0 TMS Therapy Systems are indicated as an adjunct for the treatment of MDD in adolescent patients (age 15-21) Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/e8Neuces #FDA #tms #adolescent #depression
