New Indications for Brainsway – Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation – PART 1
1. Pain syndromes:
In the United States, chronic pain and fatigue are extremely prevalent in the general
population,[60, 73, 74] especially among women and persons of lower socioeconomic
status. The prevalence of regional pain is 20%; widespread pain, 11%; and chronic
fatigue, approximately 20%. See the Israeli review by Treister R et al1
1.1. FIBROMYALGIA:
Fibromyalgia is a disorder of chronic, widespread pain and tenderness. It
typically presents in young or middle-aged women but can affect patients of
either sex and at any age.
Fibromyalgia, as defined by the 1990 American College of Rheumatology
(ACR) classification criteria,[10] has a prevalence of 3-5% in females and 0.5-
1.6% in males. Because the ACR criteria are insensitive, the actual
prevalence offibromyalgia is higher, particularly in men.
Fibromyalgia is the second most common disorder that rheumatologists
encounter, seen in 15% of evaluated patients. Approximately 8% of patients
cared for in primary care clinics have fibromyalgia.
The annual economic burden of fibromyalgia in 2005 was $10,199 per patient
per year, nearly double that of matched controls. [75] It has been estimated that
overall,fibromyalgia costs the US economy over $9 billion annually.[76]

1.2. CHRONIC PAIN SYNDROME
Chronic pain syndrome (CPS) is a common problem that presents a major
challenge to health-care providers because of its complex natural history,
unclear etiology, and poor response to therapy. CPS is a poorly defined
condition. Most authors consider ongoing pain lasting longer than 6 months
as diagnostic, and others have used 3 months as the minimum criterion.
In chronic pain, the duration parameter is used arbitrarily. Some authors
suggest that any pain that persists longer than the reasonably expected
healing time for the involved tissues should be considered chronic pain. CPS
is a constellation of syndromes that usually do not respond to the medical
model of care.
Approximately 35% of Americans have some element of chronic pain,and
approximately 50 million Americans are disabled partially or totally due
to chronic pain. Major effects on the patient's life are depressed mood,
fatigue, reduced activity, excessive use of drugs, dependent behavior,
disability, and in some cases suicidal thoughts/actions.
Parental chronic pain increases the risk of internalizing symptoms, including
anxiety and depression in adolescents. 77

1.3. NEUROPATHIC PAIN (TRIGIMINAL NEURALGIA, DIABETIC NEUROPATHIC PAIN)Neuropathic pain (NP) develops as a consequence of a lesion or disease
affecting the somatosensory pathways in the peripheral or central nervous
system, and occurs in many neurological diseases (eg, peripheral
neuropathy, radiculopathy, spinal cord injury, stroke and multiple sclerosis). It
affects 6%–8% of the general population and its impact on quality of life,
mood and sleep exceeds the burden of its causative pathology. A peculiar
feature of NP is the coexistence of negative and positive symptoms and
signs, reflecting loss-of-function and gain-of-function of the somatosensory
system, respectively. NP has long been considered a difficult clinical issue
because of the lack of a diagnostic gold standard and the unsatisfactory
response to treatment 78.

1.4. PHANTOM PAIN:
A phantom limb is the sensation that an amputated or missing limb (even an
organ, like the appendix) is still attached to the body and is moving
appropriately with other body parts.[79][80][81] Approximately 60 to 80% of
individuals with an amputation experience phantom sensations in their
amputated limb, and the majority of the sensations are pain ful .[82] Phantom
sensations may also occur after the removal of body parts other than
the limbs, e.g. after amputation of the breast, extraction of a tooth
(phantom tooth pain) or removal of an eye (phantom eye syndrome ). The
missing limb often feels shorter and may feel as if it is in a distorted
and painful position. Occasionally, the pain can be made worse
by stress, anxiety, and weather changes. Phantom limb pain is usually
intermittent. The frequency and intensity of attacks usually declines with time.[83]

1.5. POST SPINAL CORD INJURY PAIN AND DISABILITY:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an insult to the spinal cord resulting in a change,
either temporary or permanent, in the cord’s normal motor, sensory, or
autonomic function. Patients with spinal cord injury usually have permanent
and often devastating neurologic deficits and disability.
The incidence of spinal cord injury in the United States is approximately 40
cases per million population, or about 12,000 patients, per year based on
data in the National Spinal Cord Injury database.[84] However, this estimate is
based on older data from the 1990s as there has not been any new overall
incidence studies completed.[84] Estimates from various studies suggest that
the number of people in the United States alive in 2010
with spinal cord injury was about 265,000 persons (range, 232,000-316,000).[84]
Studies have found that patients with spinal cord injury who suffer from pain
have less life satisfaction than do patients in whom pain is well controlled;
this may also affect the patients' general outlook on life.[85, 86]

1.6. COMPLEX REGIONAL PAIN SYNDROME (CRPS):
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), formerly reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) or "causalgia", reflex neurovascular dystrophy (RND),
or amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome (AMPS), is a chronic
systemic disease characterized by severe pain, swelling, and changes in the
skin. CRPS is expected to worsen over time. It often initially affects an arm or
a leg and often spreads throughout the body; 92% of patients state that they
have experienced a spread, and 35% of patients report symptoms in their
whole body. Recent evidence has led to the conclusion
that ComplexRegional Pain Syndrome is a multifactorial disorder with clinical
features of neurogenic inflammation, nociceptive sensitisation (which causes
extreme sensitivity or allodynia),vasomotor dysfunction, and
maladaptive neuroplasticity, generated by an aberrant response to tissue
injury. Treatment is complicated, involving drugs, physical therapy,
psychologic treatments, and neuromodulation and usually unsatisfactory,
especially if begun late.
A population-based study by Sandroni et al showed an incidence of
approximately 5.5 per 100,000 person-years at risk and a prevalence of about
21 per 100,000 for CRPS type I.[87] The same study showed an incidence of
0.8 per 100,000 and a prevalence of about 4 per 100,000 for CRPS type II.[87] Therefore, the incidence of CRPS type I is higher than that of CRPS type
II.[87] The reported incidence of CRPS type I is 1-2% after various fractures [88],
while that of CRPS type II approximates 1-5% after peripheral nerve injury [88,
89] . The incidence of CRPS is 12% after a brain injury [90] and 5% after
a myocardial infarction [91] .

1.7. MIGRAINE: (May consider research on variants like Abdominal migraine, Cyclic vomiting et)
Migraine is a complex disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of
headache, most often unilateral and in some cases associated with visual or
sensory symptoms—collectively known as an aura—that arise most often
before the head pain but that may occur during or afterward. Migraine is most
common in women and has a strong genetic component.
Migraine is a disorder affecting more than 13% of the general population in
the United States. In the United States, more than 30 million people have 1 or
more migraine headaches per year. This corresponds to approximately 18%
of females and 6% of males.[92] Migraine accounts for 64% of severe
headaches in females and 43% of severe headaches in males.
The economic cost resulting from migraine-related loss of productive time in
the US workforce is more than $13 billion per year, most of which is in the
form of reduced work productivity.

2. TINNITUS:
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the head or the ears. The term tinnitus
derives from the Latin word tinnire, meaning to ring. Typically, an individual
perceives the sound in the absence of outside sounds, and the perception is
unrelated to any external source. Sound that only the patient hears is
subjective tinnitus, while sound that others can hear as well is called
objective tinnitus. Estimates of patients with tinnitus range from 10-15% of
the population (30-40 million people).

3. CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder characterized by a state of
chronic fatigue that persists for more than 6 months, has no clear cause, and
is accompanied by cognitive difficulties. It was initially termed
encephalomyalgia (or myalgic encephalomyelitis) because British clinicians
noted that the essential clinical features of CFS included both an encephalitic
component (manifesting as cognitive difficulties) and a skeletal muscle
component (manifesting as chronic fatigue).
A 2003 review states that studies have reported between 7 and 3,000 cases
of CFS for every 100,000 adults.[93] Ranjith reviewed the epidemiological
literature on CFS and suggested that the wide variance of
the prevalence estimates may be due to the different definitions of CFS in
use, the settings in which patients were selected, and the methodology used
to exclude study participants with possible alternative diagnoses.[94] The Centers for Disease Control reports that more than 1 million
Americans have CFS and approximately 80% of the cases are undiagnosed.[95] Approximately 250,000 people in the UK are affected with the illness
according to the National Health Service.[96]
Many people do not fully recover from CFS even with treatment.[97] Cognitive
behavioural therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy(GET) have shown
moderate effectiveness for many people in multiple randomized controlled
trials.[98][99][100][101] As many of the CBT and GET studies required visits to a
clinic, those severely affected may not have been included. [99] Two large
surveys of patients indicated that pacing is a helpful intervention, or is
considered useful by 82-96% of participants.[102][103] Medication plays a minor
role in management.[104] No intervention has been proven effective in
restoring the ability to work.[99]

The association of CFS and fibromyalgia is well known. It is reasonable that
TMS would be effective.
4. PERSISTANT SEXUAL AROUSAL SYNDROME
Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD), originally called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) and also known asRestless Genital Syndrome (ReGS or RGS), results in a spontaneous, persistent, and
uncontrollable genital arousal in women, with or without orgasm or genital
engorgement, unrelated to any feelings of sexual desire. It was first
documented by Dr. Sandra Leiblum in 2001,[105] . In 2004, PSAS was
recognized as a clinical entity by an International Definitions Committee [106].Leiblum subsequently renamed it as the persistent genital arousal
disorder (PGAD). PGAD had until recently been rarely reported [107] implying it
is a rare condition. However, a recent study of its prevalence in young women
would suggest that as many as 1% of young women have the full-blown
syndrome (L Garvey, personal communication) [108].

5. MOVMENT DISORDERS
5.1. HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that
affects muscle coordination and leads to cognitive decline and psychiatric
problems. It typically becomes noticeable in mid-adult life. HD is the most
common genetic cause of abnormal involuntary writhing movements
called chorea, which is why the disease used to be calledHuntington's chorea.
It is much more common in people of Western European descent than in
those of Asian or African ancestry. The disease can affect both men and
women. The disease is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation in either
of an individual's two copies of a gene calledHuntingtin, which means any
child of an affected person typically has a 50% chance of inheriting the
disease. Physical symptoms of Huntington's disease can begin at any age
from infancy to old age, but usually begin between 35 and 44 years of age.
Throughgenetic anticipation, the disease may develop earlier in life in each
successive generation. About 6% of cases start before the age of 21 years
with an akinetic-rigid syndrome; they progress faster and vary slightly. The
variant is classified as juvenile, akinetic-rigid orWestphal variant HD.
The late onset of Huntington's disease means it does not usually affect
reproduction.[109] The worldwide prevalence of HD is 5–10 cases per 100,000
persons,[110][111] but varies greatly geographically as a result of ethnicity, local
migration and past immigration patterns.[109]Prevalence is similar for men and
women.
There is no cure for HD, but there are treatments available to reduce the
severity of some of its symptoms.

5.2. RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME:
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) also known as Willis-Ekbom disease (WED) or Wittmaack-Ekbom syndrome, is a neurological
disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop
uncomfortable or odd sensations. It most commonly affects the legs, but can
affect the arms, torso, head, and even phantom limbs. Moving the affected
body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
Claims about the prevalence of Willis-Ekbom Disease/restless legs syndrome
can be confusing because its severity and frequency varies enormously
between individual sufferers. WED/RLS affects an estimated 7% to 10% of
the general population in North America and Europe.[112][113][114] A minority of
sufferers (around 2.7% of the population) experience daily or severe
symptoms.[113] RLS is twice as common in women as in men,[115]
In about two thirds of RLS patients, the symptoms progress over time. The
severity of symptoms in patients with RLS ranges from mild to intolerable. In
addition to being experienced in the legs, sensations also may occur in the
arms or elsewhere. RLS symptoms are generally worse in the evening and
night and less severe in the morning.
Whereas RLS may present early in adult life with mild symptoms, by age 50
years it usually progresses to severe, daily disruption of sleep leading to
decreased daytime alertness. RLS has been associated with reduced quality
of life in cross-sectional analysis

5.3.MAL DE DEBARQUEMENT SYNDROMEMal de debarquement (or Mal de débarquement) syndrome (MdDS,
or disembarkment syndrome) is a rare condition usually occurring after a
cruise, aircraft flight, or other sustained motion event. It has only recently
received attention and very little scientific research has been conducted. The
phrase "mal de débarquement" is French for "disembarkation sickness".
The condition is thought to be under-reported in the medical literature, where
fewer than 100 cases have been studied.
There is no known cure for the condition.
