Lower Migraine Burden and Restore Daily Capacity†
Individual brain mapping and adaptive stimulation aimed at reducing attack frequency and intensity while supporting steadier sleep and trigger resilience.
Migraine is more than a headache: it can include throbbing pain, nausea, light/sound sensitivity, neck tension, brain fog, and postdrome fatigue. Stress, sleep disruption, hormonal shifts, and sensory load often precipitate attacks. EXOMIND applies individualized mapping and precise, noninvasive stimulation intended to nudge stress- and pain-modulation networks toward a calmer baseline—supporting fewer attacks, gentler flares, and more reliable routines alongside your existing 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
- Episodic or chronic migraine with photophobia/phonophobia or nausea
- Stress-, sleep-, or hormone-linked attacks and neck/shoulder co-tension
- High rescue-medication use or postdrome fatigue that disrupts routines
- Partial response, sensitivity, or preference to limit medication changes—while continuing preventive/acute therapies
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 migraine days, intensity (0–10), duration, and rescue-medication use for 1–2 weeks
- ✓Note triggers (sleep loss, stress, hormones, diet, screens, posture) and prodrome cues
- ✓Share prior evaluations, preventives/abortives tried, therapies (PT, biofeedback), and sensitivities
- ✓Choose 2–3 concrete goals (e.g., −2 migraine days/month, −1 point average intensity, fewer rescue doses)
Frequently Asked Questions
1When might I notice change?
Over a few weeks, early shifts often look practical: migraine days begin to drop on some weeks (e.g., −1 to −2 per month), average intensity eases by ~1 point, photophobia/phonophobia feel less sharp, and you need fewer rescue doses. Prodrome-to-attack progression may slow and postdrome recovery can shorten. These gains can build across the series and may continue to consolidate afterward while you maintain sleep and trigger-management routines.
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.
