What Is PrTMS®? The Gold Standard in Personalized Brain Health

The Problem with One-Size-Fits-All Mental Health Care

Traditional treatments for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and brain fog often rely on trial and error. You try a medication. You wait. You adjust the dose. Maybe it works—or maybe it doesn’t.

That process can take months—sometimes years—and still leave people suffering.

What if there was a better way?
What if your brain could tell us exactly what it needs?

Welcome to PrTMS®, or Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. This revolutionary approach uses advanced EEG brain mapping and machine-guided algorithms to customize your TMS treatment from day one.

At Bella Vida TMS, we believe PrTMS is the gold standard—and we’re proud to bring it to patients in Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Gilbert.


What Is PrTMS®?

PrTMS® is an advanced, data-driven form of TMS therapy that goes beyond standard protocols. While traditional rTMS stimulates fixed brain regions at preset intensities, PrTMS® uses personalized EEG data to guide:

  • Where stimulation occurs
  • How strong the pulses should be
  • How frequently treatment is delivered

The process starts with a simple, non-invasive EEG to measure your brain’s natural electrical rhythms. That data is then used to create a unique treatment plan tailored to your brain’s needs.


Why Is PrTMS® Considered the Gold Standard?

Because no two brains are the same.

PrTMS® brings a level of precision and customization that other treatments simply can’t match. By aligning stimulation with your personal brainwave patterns, it aims to:

Restore optimal brain function
Enhance neural communication
Improve mood, focus, and sleep
Reduce side effects and shorten treatment time

This personalized model makes PrTMS ideal for complex cases—especially those involving:

  • Treatment-resistant depression
  • PTSD and emotional trauma
  • ADHD and focus issues
  • Anxiety and panic disorders
  • Cognitive fog or memory loss

The Science Behind It

The core principle of PrTMS® is that mental health symptoms often stem from disrupted brainwave patterns. When certain frequencies are too fast, too slow, or out of sync, it can affect mood, cognition, and even behavior.

Research has shown that:

  • EEG-guided TMS protocols improve response rates compared to traditional approaches
  • PrTMS may reduce treatment time from weeks to days for some patients
  • Personalized targeting lowers the risk of overstimulation and discomfort

While more long-term studies are underway, early outcomes from PrTMS clinics across the country have been consistently strong.


What to Expect with PrTMS® at Bella Vida TMS

Here’s how the PrTMS process works:

1. EEG Brain Mapping

We begin with a painless, 20-minute scan to measure your brain’s rhythms and connectivity.

2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Our software analyzes your EEG and designs a stimulation protocol just for you.

3. Daily PrTMS Sessions

Sessions are brief and comfortable. Most patients complete a full course in 4–6 weeks.

4. Weekly Progress Mapping

We repeat the EEG weekly to fine-tune your treatment as your brain responds and improves.

5. Long-Term Wellness Planning

Post-treatment scans can help you maintain your mental clarity, mood balance, and resilience.


Who Is PrTMS® For?

PrTMS is ideal for people who:

✅ Have not responded well to medications
✅ Have had limited success with standard TMS
✅ Want a drug-free, data-backed, and personalized approach
✅ Need targeted support for mood, attention, or cognitive issues
✅ Are looking for a science-forward clinic that values accuracy over trial and error

Whether you’re a working parent, first responder, veteran, or student, PrTMS gives your brain the support it uniquely needs.


Covered by Insurance?

PrTMS builds on FDA-cleared TMS technology, which means most major insurance plans cover the base treatment. At Bella Vida TMS, we:

  • Accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Tricare, and AHCCCS-contracted plans
  • Provide free insurance verification
  • Help with authorization, documentation, and appeals
  • Offer affordable financing and cash-pay plans if needed

We make access to cutting-edge mental health care simple and affordable.
