Neuromodulation is offered as a supportive, non-invasive therapy, used alongside standard medical and allied health care.
Dementia affects how different parts of the brain communicate with each other. Even when some brain cells are damaged, other networks may still function and can sometimes be supported.
Neuromodulation aims to:
Goals are always individualised and discussed clearly with families and carers.
Possible goals may include:
We utilize cutting-edge, evidence-based technologies to stimulate and restore neural function, offering hope for conditions previously considered untreatable.
Focal Shockwave uses gentle acoustic pulses to stimulate deeper brain networks involved in memory and cognition.
In dementia care, Focal Shockwave may:
tDCS uses very low-level electrical stimulation through pads placed on the scalp. It may help by:
Sessions are painless and closely supervised.
Some people with dementia experience:
tVNS gently stimulates the vagus nerve and may help:
This approach can be particularly helpful for behavioural and emotional symptoms.
An initial assessment helps determine:
Whether neuromodulation is appropriate
Which approaches may be suitable
What outcomes are realistic
How therapy fits within the broader care plan
