TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) – The room may look like it’s set up for a massage. It’s actually meant for treatments by something brand new.
The device is called Exomind. It offers an updated way to administer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, which is a method to promote mental wellness that’s been around for decades.
“It goes over the left dorsal lateral pre-frontal cortex is the part of the brain that’s in charge of, like, your moods and behaviors and those types of things, and then it delivers these pulses,” explained Michelle Fuhr, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. “It improves the neuroplasticity in the brain, so it’s really, like, helping with those networks. So, your neuro transmitters are going and firing where they need to go, and kind of going down the right path.”
Fuhr runs Health 419, 1715 Indian Wood Cir Suite 200, Maumee, OH 43537. Her location is the first one in Northwest Ohio to have the Exomind device, which came out earlier this year.
Exomind is FDA-cleared to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), but the company behind Exomind, BTL, said it could also help in other areas.
“It will help with memory and, like, behavior regulation. It’s going to help with your mood, so it’s going to help with, like, OCD impulse control kind of things,” said Fuhr.
It’s non-invasive, with treatments lasting 30 minutes, and it’s drug-free.
“There’s just a little paddle that lays across your head. Feels like maybe a tapping sensation. You can hear the tapping. Otherwise, that’s it,” explained Fuhr. “No medication. No anesthesia. You come in, you get your treatment, and you leave, You go on with your day.”
Fuhr said you don’t need a clinical diagnosis, as she sees Exomind as a way to improve overall mental wellness. She’s even tried out the treatments herself.
