This case series aims to explore therapeutic outcomes of PrTMS^® in two patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), based on standardized rating scale scores and spectral EEG-guided alpha brainwave activity optimization. Participants diagnosed with PTSD received PrTMS^® treatments informed by quantitative rating scales and weekly spectral EEG measurements. Weekly psychometric assessments showed an improvement in symptoms, as quantified by PCL-5 (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5), GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale), PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and SCI (Sleep Condition Indicator) questionnaires. Specifically, PCL-5 scores demonstrated an average reduction of 20.5 points by the midpoint of treatment (4 weeks), while GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores decreased by 7 and 8.5 points, respectively, at the end of 7 weeks. Mean SCI scores increased by 6 points by the end of the 7 week-treatment period.

This paper will report the case of a patient with cranial nerve VI palsy and dizziness, and the clinical improvements following treatment with the soundwave technology of the EPIC technique spinal procedure [1].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To report the case of a patient with cranial nerve VI (CN VI) palsy and the clinical changes that occurred after receiving treatment using the EPIC (Evolutionary Percussion Instrument Corrections) technique spinal procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clinical presentation and evaluation: &lt;/strong&gt;A 52-year-old female presented with acute insidious onset of cranial nerve VI palsy with complaints of headache and feelings of increased head pressure. Upon eye movement exam, left eye abduction was absent which additionally caused double vision. A neurovascular physical examination using the EPIC technique protocols revealed evidence of the presence of craniocervical subluxation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Radiographic findings: &lt;/strong&gt;A four-view pre-adjustment digital radiographic series of the craniocervical region was taken and analyzed utilizing the EPIC technique protocols. The patient's epigenetic structural profile (aka. epigenetic profile) was ascertained as well as the multidimensional vertebral malalignments between occiput (C0), atlas (C1), axis (C2), and angle of lower neck deviation (aka. misalignment profile).The C1 vertebra was laterally displaced to the right in a -θZ direction, and rotationally displaced in a +θY direction. C2 was rotationally displaced in a -θY direction (aka. \"spinous left\") with a lower neck deviated to the left in a +θZ direction. It is important to note the opposite rotational displacement of C1 and C2 about the Y axis, referred to as counter-rotational malpositions of C1/C2 [1] also referred to as a \"variable subluxation\" [2].Numerous epigenetic variations were present, the most important of which was bilateral elongated styloid processes observed down to the level of C1 transverse processes.A single correction vector was then calculated based on both the epigenetic and misalignment profiles of data. [1].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intervention and outcomes: &lt;/strong&gt;The patient was given a single soundwave impulse treatment (correction) to her craniocervical region according to the EPIC technique protocols of care using the Integrity Genesis adjusting instrument [1]. Immediately following the initial correction, the patient was re-evaluated for the presence of subluxation using the EPIC neurovascular physical exam and radiographic assessments. Findings revealed neurovascular indicators of subluxation were no longer present. A two-view post-adjustment EPIC digital radiographic series was taken to measure the biomechanical/structural changes from the treatment. Post-adjustment analysis revealed 95% reduction of C1 laterality (θZ), 22","PeriodicalId":87216,"journal":{"name":"Acta scientific neurology","volume":"7 7","pages":"3-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11615893/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
