Longevity Treatment Guides

Look for licensed MD, DO, NP, or PA care, a device indication that matches your diagnosis, and an emergency plan. A neurological optimization clinic should not operate as a gadget store.

TMS is clinic-prescribed for specific psychiatric indications. CES, tDCS, and neurofeedback have more limited or mixed evidence. Do not treat a consumer headset as TMS.

Consumer tDCS and neurofeedback sold for cognitive optimization have limited evidence. Do not treat progressive cognitive decline as a device problem. Get licensed evaluation for concerning change.

Clinic TMS is FDA-cleared for major depression under psychiatric protocols. Consumer devices are not a substitute. Suicidal thinking is an emergency. ECT is a specialist option for severe illness.

Some nVNS, REN, and TMS devices have migraine indications; wellness gadgets do not. Start with diagnosis and indicated medicines. Thunderclap pain, fever, or a neurologic deficit needs urgent care.

FDA clearance, approval, and wellness claims are different. Status is indication-specific. A home tDCS kit is not equivalent to clinic TMS used under a psychiatric protocol.

Neurological optimization is a marketing term. Sleep, exercise, and vascular-risk care have stronger evidence than unproven brain-stimulation packages sold as cognitive upgrades.

Prescription magnetic pulses for FDA-cleared psychiatric and selected neurologic uses. TMS is not a consumer PEMF mat and is not a cognitive-enhancement gadget.

EEG biofeedback that provides real-time feedback from scalp electrical activity. Evidence is mixed and condition-specific; qEEG does not diagnose ADHD, and benefits should be verified with blinded or functional outcomes.

Low-current cranial electrical stimulation. In the U.S., insomnia/anxiety devices are Class II with special controls; depression CES remains Class III. Evidence is device- and indication-specific.
