The Synergy of combining TMS and ketamine

Standard rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) and Spravato©/ketamine are valuable tools, but they often act in isolation. Our invention co-administers these therapies to "prime and pulse" the brain, creating a durable network reset.

The "Prime & Pulse" Methodology

We pioneered the timing and sequence required to maximize neuroplasticity. By delivering TMS while the brain is in a "plastic window" from ketamine, we steer neural activity toward healthier patterns.

15+ YEARS DATA

"This treatment maximizes the benefits of both rTMS and ketamine while offering long lasting relief."

1

The Prime

Ketamine opens the window of neuroplasticity by increasing BDNF, a protein that enables neurological change.

1

The Pulse

Precision-directed rTMS pulses "steer" this plasticity into functional networks.

1

Diagnostics

We use Brain-Network Informed diagnostics to ensure precise protocol placement.

1

The Stabilization

The combination takes the plasticity + the healthier patterns and stabilizes them in the brain for long-term recovery.
