Can SAM EEG Be Used Alongside TMS?

Yes. SAM EEG recordings can be incorporated into clinical workflows that also offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). SAM EEG and TMS are separate procedures that serve different purposes. A SAM EEG recording measures the brain's electrical activity, while TMS is a treatment administered according to the clinician's judgment and applicable clinical protocols.

 How Can SAM EEG Fit Into a TMS Workflow?

Healthcare providers may choose to incorporate EEG recordings into their existing workflow based on their clinical needs and operational procedures.

For example, a clinic may perform EEG recordings:

  • Before a course of care.
  • During a course of care.
  • After a course of care.
  • At other time points determined by the healthcare provider.

The timing and use of EEG recordings should be determined by the responsible clinician.

 Should SAM EEG Be Performed During an Active TMS Session?

No.

SAM EEG recordings should not be performed during active TMS stimulation.

If SAM EEG and TMS are used as part of the same clinical workflow, the EEG recording should be completed before or after the TMS session, not during the delivery of TMS treatment.

Does SAM EEG Control or Modify TMS Treatment?

No.

SAM EEG does not control, modify, adjust, or automate TMS treatment parameters.

The system records EEG data and generates reports based on that data. Treatment decisions remain the responsibility of the healthcare provider.

Does SAM EEG Recommend TMS Settings?

No.

SAM EEG does not recommend treatment settings, treatment parameters, treatment protocols, or treatment plans.

Clinical decisions should always be made by qualified healthcare professionals based on their clinical judgment and all relevant patient information.

Can SAM EEG Be Used to Monitor Changes Over Time?

Healthcare providers may choose to perform multiple EEG recordings over time as part of their clinical workflow.

How EEG information is reviewed or used remains the responsibility of the healthcare professional and should be consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and professional standards.
