Wearable TMS System for Ambulatory Use Zach Beller, Lindsey Kahan, Ben Sass Group 19 September 24, 2014 1

Problem Neuropathic pain affects up to 6 -7% of the general population with limited efficacy in treatment (30 -40%) Depression affects around 5 -15% of the population with a third of patients unresponsive to traditional treatments 75% of stroke survivors suffer disability that decreases their employability Lefaucher 2014 2

What is TMS? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Non-invasive magnetic modulation of neuronal activity Shown to benefit patients with depression, neuropathic pain, and motor chronic stroke Ongoing research on further applicability of TMS therapy 3

How TMS works Utilizes the Biot-Savart Law Induces eddy currents at focus of magnetic stimulation Focus and orientation of magnetic field preferentially modulates neurons Rossi 2009 4

How TMS works: Waveform Monophasic and biphasic pulses produce differing effects Magnitude of effects directly depends on magnetic field strength Sommer 2006 5

How TMS works: Frequency Various pulse protocols exist with differences in efficacy Rossi 2009 6

Clinical Effects Effective against Depression Effective against neuropathic pain Probable effectiveness against motor chronic stroke Possible effectiveness against Parkinson’s Disease Lefaucher 2014 7

Clinical Effects Schizophrenia symptoms PTSD Tinnitus Cigarette consumption Auditory hallucinations Broca’s nonfluent aphasia Post-acute stroke CRPS type 1 Hemispatial neglect Epilepsy 8

Need for a portable system Current TMS systems require a stationary patient At best this is an inconvenience At worst this may limit the clinical usefulness of TMS Integration into home environment and into applicable activities 9
