Can TMS be Delivered in One Day? Evaluating the Evidence with Dr. Jonathan Downar

Tue, 06 May 2025 06:00:00 +0200

Dr. Jonathan Downar, Psychiatrist and Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, joins neurocare’s Dr. Trevor Brown to discuss a groundbreaking new approach to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The "ONE-D Trial" explores an accelerated, single-day TMS protocol designed to optimize neuroplasticity and enhance treatment outcomes for depression.

Unlike traditional TMS protocols requiring weeks of daily sessions, the ONE-D protocol delivers 20 sessions of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) over a single day, combined with D-cycloserine to boost neuroplasticity. Early findings indicate a delayed but robust treatment response, with remission rates increasing over six weeks post-treatment.

In this conversation, Dr. Downar explains the methodology, patient selection, and future implications of this innovative approach. They discuss how the ONE-D protocol compares to existing accelerated methods like the Stanford SAINT protocol and explore its potential applications for OCD, anxiety, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

TMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression in the Elderly with Dr. Albino Oliveira-Maia

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +0200

In recent years, the non-invasive neurostimulation treatment, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or ‘TMS’, has been gaining recognition as a viable and evidence-based medical alternative for patients suffering Depression who are not responding adequately to first line treatments, such as medication.

The benefits of this treatment and how to best apply it, is being validated now in elderly populations. Dr. Albino Oliveira-Maia, researcher, and director at NOVA Medical School in Portugal, runs a clinical unit focused on providing innovative mental health treatments for cancer patients and patients with Depression and OCD who have not been helped by other methods.

Here they provide TMS in combination with other treatments and explore the positive effects and outcomes in a wide-ranging patient population, including those in geriatric care. neurocare’s Dr Trevor Brown speaks with Dr Oliveira-Maia to learn more about his research and outlook for TMS and how the method can be improved and better utilized, such as the effects of ‘maintenance’ sessions and how well TMS works in elderly.

Albino is very active in pushing for TMS and other anti-depressant treatments to become part of standard care and discusses the current limitations of mental health care in Portugal and Europe at large, and how they can be improved.

This interview may interest researchers, scientists, clinicians, and students working or studying in the field of mental healthcare. Although the conversation here centers around more scientific concepts, it may also interest a wider audience interested in learning more about the treatment approach of TMS in depression.

The Phenomena of Slow Cortical Potentials Neurofeedback with Dr. Ute Strehl

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 06:00:00 +0200

The EEG Biofeedback technique, also known as ‘Neurofeedback’ has gained widespread attention in the last few decades as a non-invasive and medication-free treatment option in ADHD. With many different techniques and equipment, one such Neurofeedback protocol which measures and trains what is called ‘Slow Coritcal Potentials’ (SCP) was born out of research in Germany.

Ute Strehl has been a leading researcher in this area from the University of Tübigen. Tübigen has been home to many famous scientists since the 15th century and Ute was part of Niels Birbaumer’s team who first applied this version of Neurofeedback using ‘SCPs’. Different from other applications of Neurofeedback of Frequency Bands (e.g. SMR or Theta/Beta training), Slow Cortical Potentials Neurofeedback requires specialist technology and precision artifact control for correct application.

The studies and findings around SCP Neurofeedback have been studied at length by Ute and her team over several decades and have shown some of the highest efficacy out of any other Neurofeedback study. neurocare’s Dr Trevor Brown speaks with Dr Strehl to find out more about the EEG phenomena of SCPs and her crucial research into Neurofeedback for ADHD. She offers insightful views on the trends in SCP Neurofeedback and its potential application in the future.

Targeting Brain Rhythms - tACS with Flavio Frohlich

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 06:00:00 +0200

In this conversation, neurocare's Dr. Trevor Brown speaks with Dr. Flavio Frohlich, a renowned biomedical engineer and neuroscientist with an extensive academic background from Imperial College in London and Yale Medical School in the United States. Dr. Frohlich, a pioneer in brain stimulation techniques, especially transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), shares his groundbreaking research in this field.

Dr. Frohlich discusses his journey from working in the field of electrical engineering to further work on the complexities of the brain's neural networks. He delves into his early research focused on single cell activation and controlling firing rates, leading to his interest in feedback loops within the human brain, particularly in applying tACS during sleep spindle production. Frohlich also discusses the state of research on tACS for auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia and depression. These studies have paved the way for further research on feedback and entrainment, involving simultaneous EEG recording and tACS stimulation, effectively 'closing the loop' in brain modulation techniques.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Frohlich emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for personalized, adaptive treatments in the field of neurostimulation. He envisions leveraging the rhythmic nature of brain activity for therapeutic benefits, pointing towards a future where innovative approaches like tACS revolutionize psychiatric treatments.

NCG 2.0: Taking the guesswork out of rTMS site selection with Dr Martijn Arns.

Fri, 03 Dec 2021 06:00:00 +0100

In this episode, neurocare’s Dr. Trevor Brown and Dr. Martijn Arns discuss the new and innovative technique to better personalize Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy by using Neuro-Cardiac-Guided TMS (NCG TMS) for treating depression. Traditional TMS methods, while effective on a group level, lack personalization due to individual brain connectivity variations. Dr. Arns introduces NCG TMS, a pioneering approach utilizing heart rate changes to pinpoint optimal TMS sites, bridging the gap between established 5-centimeter and Beam F3 methods.

They discuss the evolution of NCG TMS to version 2.0, incorporating advanced frequency analysis. This cutting-edge technique, proven effective in both healthy individuals and patients, led to the development of an iPhone app providing personalized heart rate variability biofeedback. Dr. Arns emphasizes that NCG TMS 2.0 eliminates the guesswork in site selection, with the hope to better personalized and optimize TMS treatments, which are becoming more and more utilized in mainstream psychiatric care.

Dr. Arns is a distinguished figure in research of TMS (or rTMS) and was one of the first to pioneer TMS treatments in outpatient clinics in Europe. He is the founder and director of Brainclinics Research, advancing work in the field of stratification techniques in neuroscience and psychiatry. This conversation was held ahead of the 4th International Brain Stimulation Conferences in Charleston.
