Precision Treatment: Tailored for Profound Healing
At Pacific Neuromodulation, we deliver patient-specific, individualized treatment. We develop bespoke TMS treatment plans, precisely targeting multiple brain locations with customized pulse sequences and frequencies tailored to your unique condition for truly effective, lasting relief.
The Next Frontier in Psychiatric Care
Moving beyond traditional medications, neuromodulation directly stimulates specific brain areas. We leverage AI and machine learning to define custom-targeted locations and protocols, offering a precise approach with fewer side effects for conditions like depression, OCD, and PTSD.
OUR ADVANCED APPROACH
Personalized Neuromodulation: Beyond Standard TMS
Unlike traditional TMS which often targets limited brain areas with standardized pulses, our approach is deeply personalized. We develop customized protocols—defining specific frequencies, pulse sequences, and targeting multiple, precise brain locations relevant to your condition.
We utilize modern technology, including machine learning insights, to refine these multi-target strategies, ensuring a more comprehensive and potentially more effective treatment than conventional, often underpowered, methods.
MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL
Integrating Supportive Therapies for Lasting Change
Our precision TMS protocols create an enhanced neuroplastic environment, making your brain more receptive to learning and adaptation. We then strategically combine this with supportive therapies tailored to your condition.
This integrated approach—customized neuromodulation followed by targeted supportive care—maximizes long-term benefits and learning opportunities, helping you build resilience and solidify therapeutic gains.
Experience Rapid Relief with Accelerated TMS
Accelerated TMS (aTMS) offers compelling advantages over traditional protocols. Research shows aTMS can provide rapid symptom relief, often within days, and achieve high remission rates, even in treatment-resistant cases. This approach significantly improves convenience by condensing treatment into a much shorter timeframe, all while maintaining a comparable safety profile to standard TMS.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about TMS therapy and our approach at Pacific Neuromodulation. Contact us for any further inquiries.
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
TMS is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It's primarily used for conditions like depression and OCD, especially when other treatments haven't been effective. The stimulation helps regulate brain activity, leading to symptom improvement.
What conditions does Pacific Neuromodulation primarily treat?
Pacific Neuromodulation specializes in treating Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We also actively research and develop protocols for other conditions, including anxiety and eating disorders, leveraging our expertise in personalized neuromodulation.
What makes Pacific Neuromodulation's TMS approach unique?
Our approach is deeply personalized. Unlike standard TMS that often uses a one-size-fits-all method, we develop bespoke treatment plans. This involves customized protocols with specific pulse sequences and frequencies, targeting multiple brain locations relevant to your unique condition. We utilize modern technology and insights from machine learning to refine these multi-target strategies for enhanced efficacy.
What is Accelerated TMS?
Accelerated TMS significantly shortens the treatment duration, often condensing a full course into 5-10 days, compared to the 4-6 weeks typical of traditional TMS. Research indicates that accelerated protocols can offer rapid symptom relief and achieve high remission rates, all while maintaining a safety profile comparable to standard TMS.
Is TMS therapy safe and are there side effects?
TMS therapy is generally well-tolerated and considered safe. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as a headache or scalp discomfort at the stimulation site, which usually subsides quickly. Serious side effects are rare. We provide earplugs due to the clicking sound of the device. A thorough discussion of all potential benefits and risks will occur during your consultation.
How do I determine if TMS is the right treatment for me?
The first step is an initial consultation with one of our expert psychiatrists. They will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals, to determine if TMS is an appropriate and safe option for your specific situation.
