Protocol recommendation for old TBI recovery

Brain Injury and Neurodegenerative Diseases
#1

Hi, I’ve read other posts from Mark, Bob, and others which have said things like pick a brainwave pattern that is comfortable and slowly increase the time and intensity of pemf.

I have a c5 and would like to be as efficient as possible in applying pemf to my brain. I’ve worked up to max intensity and move the coils around from various placements like trans temporal, prefontal, trans parietal with pemf times of 40 mins per site. I’m curious if I can do multiple sites at once with the c5 like trans parietal and trans temporal given that I have 2 sets of the standard coils and 2 of the 2x2 array?

I’d appreciate input on this from anyone that has tried it or knows if it’s possible without cancelling the fields from the coils out with another set or array running nearby. Also ideas on coil placements with 2 sets of standard coils and 2 of the 2x2 array that treat as much of the brain as efficiently as possible with pemf would be nice.

Thanks.

I have tried exactly what you have suggested (simultaneous multiple sites on my head) with good effect. Generally I think that individual variability is large when doing this, so I don’t have general guidelines, I just try different things (carefully) and note the results.

Bob, I had read in the data from the small trials you’ll did that working up to the highest tolerable power of pemf was used when doing pemf in the brain for tbi and cognitive issues.

Is that still the recommendation to work up to the highest intensity/power of pemf for tbi and cognitive issues?

I would suggest that you not exceed an intensity level that causes discomfort. There is disagreement on this point, but I generally see that less is more. Extra energy is not necessarily helpful in terms of PEMF effectiveness.

Ok, I’ve worked up to max intensity without discomfort but was curious if that was still the recommendation.

I am not a licensed clinician, so I can never give any recommendation about any health decision.

I understand, advice is just a suggestion based on your experience and observation, not medical advice. Thank you.
