Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It is the most common cause of dementia, affecting millions of people worldwide. While there is currently no cure, emerging treatments including Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) offer hope for slowing progression and improving quality of life.
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents an early stage where cognitive changes are noticeable but don't significantly interfere with daily functioning. Early intervention at this stage may be particularly beneficial.
Why TPS for Alzheimer's Disease
TPS (Transcranial Pulse Stimulation) is particularly suited to neurodegenerative conditions because it can reach deeper brain structures鈥攈ippocampus, thalamus, and other subcortical regions鈥攖hat are affected in Alzheimer's disease but are difficult to target with other non-invasive neuromodulation techniques.
Subcortical Access
Where rTMS excels at cortical modulation, TPS delivers focused acoustic pulses capable of reaching deeper brain structures. This opens therapeutic pathways for neurodegenerative conditions where cortical intervention alone proves insufficient.
Neuronavigation-Guided Precision
TPS integrates with advanced neuronavigation systems, enabling millimetre-accurate targeting of specific brain regions identified through QEEG analysis. This ensures every pulse reaches its intended destination with reproducible accuracy.
Our Treatment Approach
Our TPS programme for Alzheimer's disease begins with comprehensive assessment including QEEG brain mapping to identify specific areas of dysfunction. Treatment protocols are personalised based on individual neurophysiological profiles.
The treatment process involves:
- Initial QEEG brain mapping to assess brain function
- Development of personalised TPS protocol targeting affected regions
- Regular treatment sessions using neuronavigation guidance
- Ongoing monitoring and protocol adjustment based on response
- Support for families and caregivers
What to Expect
TPS treatment for Alzheimer's disease is a non-invasive procedure. Sessions typically last varies and are well-tolerated. The number of sessions and treatment duration will be discussed during your consultation based on the stage of the condition and individual response.
While TPS cannot reverse Alzheimer's disease, research suggests it may help slow progression and improve certain cognitive functions. Outcomes vary between individuals, and we'll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
