Research - Brain Aid Clinics

The Journey

Precision, not approximation.

The scalp-based 5cm rule used in standard rTMS can carry up to 20mm of spatial error. Individual cortical anatomy varies significantly — sulcal depth, cortical thickness, head size. Without neuronavigation, you’re stimulating a region; with it, you’re stimulating a circuit.

At BrainAid Clinics, every patient receives an individualised brain map from their own MRI. The coil is tracked in real time every session, ensuring consistent and accurate placement across the full course of treatment.

“We don’t guess where your DLPFC is. We navigate to it — using your brain, not a textbook average.”

Clinical Pillars

Three things that set us apart.

01 Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia

MRI-guided, real-time coil tracking targeting your individual brain anatomy — not an estimated average. Consistent and reproducible across every session.

02 Psychiatrist-Led Care

Every patient is assessed and overseen by a psychiatrist. We manage the full clinical journey — from first contact to discharge summary.

03 The TMF Program

Thought, Movement and Food. A holistic support framework running alongside every course of treatment — because brain change is amplified by lifestyle.

The K.A.R.E. Framework

How we treat Eevery person who walks in.

K

Kindness

Warmth in every interaction

Every patient is met with patience, empathy, and genuine care — from the first phone call to the final session.

A

Accuracy

Clinical and communicative precision

Neuronavigation, honest communication, evidence-based protocols. We don’t overpromise. We deliver what the science supports.

R

Respect

Dignity and informed consent

Shared decision-making and respect for patient autonomy. We treat every person as a capable adult navigating a difficult situation.

E

Evidence

Grounded in research

Every decision backed by peer-reviewed evidence. Off-label use is clearly disclosed, carefully considered, and psychiatrist-supervised.
