What is Miamind?
Miamind is a customized transcranial neurostimulator designed to treat neurocognitive disorders.
Will my condition improve with Miamind?
The therapeutic effect of transcranial electrostimulation is being studied for various medical conditions in order to specifically enhance brain activity and improve cognitive performance. This aims to achieve immediate symptomatic relief as well as a long-term treatment of the disease. However, the success of the treatment is highly individual and depends on various factors, which is why Miamind is specifically made for you to provide the best possible therapy based on the latest scientific findings. Your attending physician can give you more information and is happy to discuss a personalized Miamind therapy that suits you.
Has Miamind Side Effects?
Typical side effects of transcranial electrical stimulation include mild tingling or itching on the scalp. Additionally, visual effects known as phosphenes may occur, which are caused by stimuli to the eye or the visual cortex. These are comparable to visual perceptions that can be triggered, for example, by rubbing the eyes. However, the effects are only temporary and fade away once the therapy is completed. In rare cases, the therapy may lead to short-term dizziness and/or headaches.
Why do I need an MRI before I can use Miamind?
The personalization of Miamind is carried out based on an MRI scan. Only in this way can it be ensured that the device is ideally tailored to your personal situation (anatomy, condition).
