Lower Pain Reactivity and Rebuild Daily Capacity with EXOMIND†
Individual brain mapping and adaptive stimulation aimed at easing pain intensity and reactivity, smoothing sleep, and supporting clearer focus and pacing.
Chronic pain often involves a sensitized alarm system—pain signals stay 'loud' and easily amplified by stress, poor sleep, or overexertion. Many people describe unpredictable flares, non-restorative sleep, brain fog, and difficulty keeping consistent routines. EXOMIND applies individualized mapping and precise, noninvasive stimulation intended to nudge stress- and cognitive-control networks toward a calmer, more resilient baseline while you continue your medical and rehabilitative care.
EXOMIND at a Glance
Personalized targeting informed by symptoms, sleep/circadian patterns, and history
Awake, noninvasive, drug-free sessions (no anesthesia or recovery downtime)
Typical course: brief weekday sessions over a few weeks with session-by-session tuning
We track clinical outcomes throughout your treatment journey
Who It May Help
- Widespread or regional pain with stress- or activity-linked flare-ups
- Non-restorative sleep, frequent awakenings, or morning stiffness
- Cognitive 'fog,' reduced attention, and plan slippage due to pain fatigue
- Partial response, sensitivity, or preference to avoid additional medication changes—while continuing multidisciplinary care
How EXOMIND Works
After a focused intake and mapping session, EXOMIND delivers patterned magnetic pulses to cortical hubs involved in stress regulation and cognitive control. Parameters are adjusted across visits to encourage healthier network connectivity and a steadier autonomic set point.
What to Expect
You remain awake and laying down. Most people feel rhythmic tapping on the scalp; mild, brief sensitivity or headache can occur and typically resolves quickly. Early changes may include improved wind-down at night, fewer spikes in reactivity, and easier recovery after stressors.
Candidacy & Safety
We screen for medical contraindications (e.g., specific metal implants, seizure history). EXOMIND is generally well tolerated. If you use medications or therapy, we can coordinate care; changes are not required to begin unless advised for safety.
Important Information
This page is educational and not a guarantee of benefit. Individual results vary, and risks and uncertainties exist with any medical intervention. All patients complete a thorough evaluation and an informed-consent process reviewing potential benefits, risks, and alternatives.
Before Your Visit
- ✓Track pain (0–10), flare triggers, and recovery time for 1–2 weeks
- ✓Note sleep onset/awakenings, morning stiffness, and pacing strategies
- ✓Share prior evaluations, medications, injections/therapies, and sensitivities
- ✓Choose 2–3 concrete goals (e.g., one fewer awakening, 1–2 points less reactivity in common triggers, +10–15 minutes gentle activity)
Frequently Asked Questions
1When might I notice change?
Over a few weeks, early shifts are often practical and modest: pain reactivity to routine stressors drops by ~1–2 points, flares feel shorter or less frequent, wind-down at night is easier, and morning stiffness or 'brain fog' eases slightly during everyday tasks. These gains can build across the series and may continue to consolidate afterward as you maintain pacing, sleep routines, and your broader care plan.
2How many sessions are typical for EXOMIND?
Courses commonly involve brief weekday sessions over a few weeks. The exact number and schedule are personalized after your mapping and consultation; some patients consider additional sessions if benefits wane.
3Can EXOMIND be combined with my current treatment?
Yes. EXOMIND is non-pharmacologic and can be coordinated with existing medications and psychotherapy. Changes to medication are not required to begin unless advised for safety.
4What side effects are most common?
Mild scalp discomfort or headache can occur and typically resolves on its own or with simple measures. We review safety and comfort strategies during consent.
5How do you select brain targets?
We are able to identify the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC), based on your unique anatomy, within minutes.
6What if I don't feel progress?
Results will vary. For refractory cases, we suggest a multi-modal approach and will explore your individualized treatment plan for further performance optimization.
7Can I work or drive after sessions?
Most people resume normal activities immediately. If you experience a headache or unusual fatigue, brief rest is recommended before driving.
8How are payments handled?
EXOMIND Santa Monica is a direct-pay practice.
