Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) with the NEUROLITH® is increasingly gaining momentum: Since the CE approval for the »treatment of the central nervous system of patients with Alzheimer’s disease« in 2018, more than 50 NEUROLITH® systems have been installed worldwide. In June 2021, three more devices were installed in renowned neurological specialist clinics in Germany, Austria, and Turkey.

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) with the NEUROLITH® system is a new therapy option for patients with Alzheimer’s disease that allows targeted stimulation of cerebral regions.

Key-facts:

• TPS are shock waves which allow highly focal brain stimulation deep in the brain.
• TPS allows unprecedented precision for targeting brain areas.
  

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) with the NEUROLITH® system is performed by a trained practitioner and is done on an outpatient basis. During treatment, the patient sits comfortably in a chair and can move freely at any time. To ensure optimal transmission of the pulses, the therapist applies ultrasound gel to the scalp or hair – it is not necessary to shave the patient’s head. The patient then puts on a pair of special glasses so that the position of the head can be detected.
