Depression Treatment for the Information Age
How TMS works
TMS therapy is safe and effective for treating depression. 50-70% of symptoms can be reduced lasting up to 6 months. However, with currently available TMS devices, the therapy takes 30-40 minutes per session and 30 sessions to complete a course within 5-6 weeks. 40% of patients have headache and scalp pain during or after the therapy. With all TMS devices, it is expected that training is required to perform coil positioning, and extra clinical space and maintenance cost is needed to install the device for running a sustainable business.
Depression patients have decreased activity in the pre-frontal cortex area of the brain, a brain region associated with the control of mood and emotions. TMS generates a targeted pulsed magnetic field to heal that specific brain region by stimulating or suppressing the nerve activities. NPX proprietary electro-magnetic coils generate induced eddy currents that modulate the nerve activities, enhance micro circulation and turn-on self modulation activities in nerve tissues, change blood flow, increase oxygen uptake and cell metabolism, sprout new synaptic connections to improve the cognition function in the brain, which overall results in mitigation of depression and other diseased symptoms.
NPX therapy can be easily used in a clinic, and eventually at home, under the supervision of treatment specialists.
NPX increases efficacy and reduces pain
The NPX device delivers deeper and more localized therapeutic energy and eliminates hot burn spots on top of the head which may cause 40% of headache, scalp pain and other side effects. NeuroPrex Surface Pain Reduction™ technology ensures the patient is free of exposure to unwanted magnetic fields which may cause them with headache, scalp pain and other side effects. NPX procedure provides a simpler and safer procedure in TMS therapy than other method. This is provided by the protective shield layer, which wards off unwanted surface magnetic energy and ensures the energy can be focused, to be delivered to the lesion site.
NeuroPrex TMS system (below right) delivers deeper therapeutic energy, eliminates hot burn (red color in figures) on top of the head, which may cause 40% of headaches, scalp pain and other side effects.
NPX Features
NPX is a TMS device powered by coils simulators, a helmet with protective shield layer and a power supply system. Therapy sessions with the NPX device are safe and comfortable. Users can easily position the helmet on patient's head, select frequency and other parameters to achieve the best therapeutic outcome according to the recommendation of clinical specialists.
NeuroPrex Unique Design Features
NPX has unique design features, which provides stronger healing energy, and avoids discomfort and side effects.
1) Patented star shaped coils
2) Shield
3) Efficient cooling technology
4) Multiple-points treatment is available
5) Energy goes deep, ranging from 1.5 to 4 cm
6) Unwanted surface magnetic fields are reduced by at least 30%
Self-Positioning
NPX helmet is designed to custom fit each patient. The device will come with easy-to-follow instructions which will guide the users or patients to self-position of coils by wearing the helmet. This new feature ensures precise positioning of the TMS coils for an effective treatment.
Easy Integrated User Interface
The NPX device with an integrated user interface provides step-by-step guidance for an effective operation and control of the device. The platform ensures security with an identity check along with facial recognition to allow users and patients to confidently complete their treatment.
Cloud Computing Enabled
With NPX’s cloud computing and other diagnostic platforms,
patients can monitor therapy results and receive instant feedback and online support from doctors.
Protective Shield Layer
Current repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation generates excessive unwanted magnetic energy may trigger scalp discomfort and other other side-effects during the span of multiple therapy sessions. NPX comes with a Shield layer that provides a ward-off protection outside the lesion area by reducing 32% stimulation at 1-3 cm depth, without affecting the healing energy for deeper lesion area at 5 cm depth.
