Use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to modulate permeability of the blood-brain barrier
Summary
This patent describes methods for using transcranial magnetic stimulation to temporarily increase the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. The system delivers precisely configured magnetic pulses to enhance drug delivery to the brain for treating neurological conditions such as brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases.
Why it matters
Blood-brain barrier modulation could dramatically improve the efficacy of CNS drugs by enabling therapeutic molecules to reach brain targets that are normally inaccessible. This technology opens new commercial opportunities for BrainsWay by combining TMS with pharmacotherapy, potentially addressing conditions like Alzheimer's and brain cancer.
