Dementia, a syndrome characterized by a decline in memory, cognitive abilities, and reasoning, affects millions of people globally, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common form. The prevalance of dementia is on the rise and so are the cost to the health system since most people do not find those physicians who specialize in this disease until its too late. Since most physicians are unfamiliar with the specialization of functional medicine and functional neurology, they do not refer to these providers. This disease can be devistating to families as well since caregivers spend much of their lives and resources helping the ailing parent.
The Science behind Deep TMS
Deep TMS is a non invasive neurostimulation technique that uses magnetic fields that stimulate specific regions of the brain. Unlike traditional TMS, Deep TMS reaches deeper structures, making it particularly relevant to conditions like dementia, where multiple regions are affected. By modulating neural activity, Deep TMS has shown promise in enhancing cognitive funtions, regulating mood, and potentially slowing down the progression of slowing down dementia-related symptoms.
