Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS / TMS)

Located in Orange County, Newport Beach CA

The Brain Treatment Center (BTC) is a comprehensive service organization that consists of groups of leading psychiatrists, neuroscientists, and electric engineers. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding of neural function and neurophysiology by embracing innovative new technology in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders (including autism, attention deficit, substance abuse, and mood disorders). Our mission is to provide:

1. Information and counseling to patients and family members.
2. Evaluation and analysis using state of the art electroencephalography (EEG).
3. Evidence-based treatment using Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS / TMS)*.

At our Newport Beach center and surrounding clinics, we provide information for families and health care providers, as well as patients suffering from neuropsychiatric disorders. We also provide state-of-the-art quantitative EEG recording and analysis. Finally, we provide treatment of mental disorders using Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS / TMS)*. Although we welcome those with any mental disorder for analysis, consultation, and treatment, our primary focus includes:

• Autism
• Substance Abuse
• Anxiety

Autism, anxiety, depression, addiction treatment

Symptoms of mental disorders vary in form and severity, and can be devastating to the individual and family. Due to the diversity and unknown etiology of most illnesses, no treatment has been found to be 100% effective. Medication may help relieve symptoms, but often come with severe side effects that can make the treatment intolerable. Anxiety, autism,substance abuse,and other mental disorders can be difficult to live with, and treatment can be an area where patients often suffer great discomfort and become reliant on medication.

An alternative medical treatment

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS / TMS)* has been shown in published studies to hold great promise in treating a number of mental disorders (See our Research section). rTMS / TMS consists of repetitive magnetic pulses delivered to the brain using a coil of wire placed above the patient's scalp. rTMS / TMS is used to activate neurons in areas of the brain that are shown to have low functional activity for patients with the disorder.

At the BTC, we advocate the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS / TMS)* for a wide array of disorders. For detailed information, please contact us at 949-851-3086.

Effective, safe, and drug-free...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS / TMS) shows great promise.

The results from studies using rTMS / TMS to treat mental disorders have been remarkable, with improvements often occurring in the first week. In addition to the efficacy shown in major depression, rTMS / TMS is found to hold great potential in the improvement of the condition of those with other mental disorders such as autism (see our Research section). The therapy does not require any concomitant medication, and existing medication regimens do not have to be altered in any way.

Science-based therapy for autism and other disorders

What The BTC offers is unique, and our goal is to help patients overcome debilitating mental disorders. Please call us for more details. We encourage you to speak with your physician regarding Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS / TMS).
