Neuromodulation
Brain stimulation technologies represent one of the most promising frontiers in psychiatric treatment. Dr. Sadeghpour integrates these approaches when traditional treatments have not provided adequate relief.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in mood regulation. FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and OCD, TMS is a non-invasive outpatient procedure with a strong evidence base. Sessions are typically conducted over several weeks and can produce meaningful, lasting improvement in patients who have not responded to medication alone.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS delivers a low-level electrical current through electrodes placed on the scalp, modulating neuronal excitability in targeted brain areas. Research supports its use as an adjunct to psychotherapy and medication for depression, anxiety, and cognitive enhancement. It is well-tolerated, non-invasive, and may offer benefits for patients seeking additional therapeutic tools.
Emerging Technologies
The field of neuromodulation is rapidly evolving. Dr. Sadeghpour stays at the forefront of developments including deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), focused ultrasound, and novel closed-loop stimulation systems. As these technologies receive clinical validation, they may become available as additional treatment options for complex or treatment-resistant conditions.
Is neuromodulation right for you?
Neuromodulation is typically considered for patients who have not achieved adequate improvement with medication and psychotherapy alone. Dr. Sadeghpour evaluates each patient's unique clinical picture to determine whether brain stimulation therapies may be appropriate and beneficial.
