Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) is a method using light therapy to improve brain function and treat various neurological disorders. This treatment method is based on the principle of applying low-level light waves to specific areas of the brain using laser or LED light sources. The light energy is absorbed by the mitochondria in the cells, triggering biochemical reactions and improving cell metabolism.
t-FNS is a new generation brain stimulation device that is safe, effective and easy to use. It features patented transcranial-intranasal technology. It offers a significant advantage for comprehensive brain stimulation of the Default Mode Network. It can still be applied in Turkey with the consent of patients and their relatives.
How is Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) Applied?
TheTranscranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) device is applied by sending light energy to the brain and intranasal area. This process allows the light energy to penetrate the tissues by targeting different parts of the brain. The device, which is easy to use, is applied at regular intervals and the treatment process is completed.
In Which Conditions and Diseases is t-FNS Used?
The Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) device is generally used for the following conditions and diseases:
- Dementia: It is effective in alleviating the symptoms of dementia, which is characterized by memory loss and decreased cognitive functions.
- Alzheimer's: This device can slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease and improve patients' quality of life.
- Traumatic Brain Injury: The healing process of brain tissue can be accelerated by using t-FNS in the treatment of brain trauma.
- Parkinson's: It can help relieve motor dysfunctions associated with Parkinson's disease.
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Can be used to alleviate PTSD symptoms and help patients achieve a better psychological state.
- Autism Spectrum Disorder: It can contribute to improving the social and cognitive abilities of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
What are the Benefits of the t-FNS Device?
The Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) device delivers light energy at a frequency of 10 Hz or 40 Hz to brain tissue. These frequencies are similar to alpha and gamma brain waves in electroencephalography. Alpha waves are associated with the resting state of the brain and support mental coordination, awareness and learning. Gamma brain waves are associated with arousal, problem solving and focus.
By regulating brain activity, these frequencies help to alleviate the symptoms of neurological disorders. Furthermore, t-FNS treatment promotes cellular healing by increasing the energy production of brain cells. This can improve overall brain health and cognitive functions.
Which Patient Groups is the t-FNS Device Suitable for?
The Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) device and the treatment it offers can be safely applied for conditions deemed appropriate by physicians. Our clients must first be evaluated by a specialist physician to benefit from this treatment. For clients 18 years of age and younger, the approval of 2 specialist physicians is required.
Adult patients can start treatment if deemed appropriate after neurological evaluation. In addition, this treatment method is also suitable for patients with chronic brain disorders and can help alleviate symptoms.
How does the t-FNS Treatment Process Work?
The treatment process starts with the initial assessment of the client and the treatment process begins for clients who are deemed suitable. Before the treatment begins, a signed informed consent form is obtained from the client or the client's relatives, in which all processes related to the treatment are explained and their consent is obtained.
The responsible physician starts the treatment by determining the treatment protocol according to the client's complaint. During the treatment, the process is followed up with interim and final interviews.
Each treatment session is tailored to the client's needs and the results are reviewed as the treatment progresses. In this way, optimal results are achieved throughout the treatment process and the client's general health status is constantly monitored.
Are There Side Effects of t-FNS Treatment?
There are no reported side effects of theTranscranial Brain Photobiomodulation (t-FNS) device. However, it is important to be under the supervision of a physician throughout the treatment process. As with any treatment method, a treatment plan should be created taking into account individual differences and specific health conditions. Following the recommendations of physicians increases the effectiveness of treatment and minimizes potential risks. Therefore, regular medical check-ups should be performed during t-FNS treatment.
What are Alternative Treatments?
If t-FNS treatment is not applied, t-TMU, t-DCS or ECT can be applied. The appropriateness of these alternatives for the patient's medical and mental condition is determined by a discussion between the doctor and the patient and/or the patient's relatives.
