Our aim is an individual approach in setting final and intermediate treatment goals, improving quality of life for our patients.
At SOZO Brain Center, we use a comprehensive approach to gather and analyze clinical information, which leads to better health outcomes. We don’t just focus on the main complaints of the patients, which are often limited to two or three issues. Instead, we dig deeper to uncover underlying conditions that may be affecting your overall health. By addressing these hidden conditions, we can significantly improve your well-being and help reduce the severity of your primary symptoms.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses a low electrical current to influence neuronal activity. It involves placing two electrodes—an anode (positive) and a cathode (negative)—on specific areas of the scalp. The anode increases neuron excitability, making them more likely to fire, while the cathode decreases excitability, reducing neuron activity. A gentle current (typically 1-2 mA) flows between the electrodes, altering the resting membrane potential of neurons in targeted brain regions. With repeated sessions, the effects of tDCS tend to build up, leading to longer-lasting benefits.
tDCS is being studied for its potential to treat various conditions and improve brain functions. It has shown promise in managing mood disorders like depression and anxiety by targeting the prefrontal cortex for emotional regulation. It is also explored for cognitive enhancement, helping with memory, attention, and learning by strengthening neural pathways. In rehabilitation, tDCS aids stroke recovery and motor impairments by stimulating motor and sensory regions. Additionally, it may alleviate chronic pain by targeting brain areas involved in pain perception, such as the motor cortex.

Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive method that stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve by applying mild electrical impulses to specific points on the outer ear, such as the tragus and cymba conchae. This technique activates the vagus nerve, a key player in the autonomic nervous system, influencing neural pathways responsible for autonomic, emotional, and cognitive functions. By targeting the vagus nerve, taVNS can help regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. It is also being studied as a treatment for mood disorders like depression and anxiety, as well as a tool for pain management by modulating pain-processing pathways in the brain.
taVNS has additional potential benefits, including improving immune response and reducing inflammation, which could be valuable for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Some studies also suggest it may enhance cognitive functions such as memory and attention by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters linked to learning. Compared to implanted vagus nerve stimulation devices, taVNS is non-invasive, easy to use, and adaptable for at-home application under professional guidance. While more research is needed to validate its full range of benefits, taVNS shows promise as an accessible therapy for mental health, pain relief, inflammation reduction, and cognitive enhancement.

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) is a groundbreaking therapy designed to revolutionize the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Utilizing low-energy shock waves, TPS offers a targeted, non-invasive approach to stimulate deep brain regions. Developed at the University of Vienna and CE-marked since 2018, it provides an effective outpatient option for patients, enabling significant improvements in cognitive function and quality of life.
One of the standout features of TPS is its integration with BodyTrack® software, a cutting-edge tool that ensures precision during treatment. By leveraging MRI data, BodyTrack® provides real-time visualisation of the treatment zones, documenting energy distribution and progress. This ensures each session is tailored to the patient’s unique neurological structure, enhancing both safety and efficacy.
Clinical research highlights the potential of TPS not only for Alzheimer’s disease but also for other neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease. With its short, convenient sessions and promising results, TPS represents a significant advancement in neurology, offering renewed hope for patients and families seeking innovative treatment solutions.

A rehabilitation glove is a specialized device used in physical therapy to aid recovery of hand strength, dexterity, and range of motion after injuries, neurological issues, or surgeries. Equipped with sensors, motors, or actuators, the glove assists with hand and finger exercises, making it ideal for those with limited hand mobility.
Combining a rehabilitation glove with neuromodulation techniques, such as tDCS or taVNS, enhances recovery by stimulating neural pathways and promoting neuroplasticity. Neuromodulation primes motor-related brain areas, creating a more responsive environment for the glove to guide hand movements, improving motor function and control. This synergy supports patients in re-establishing muscle activation and coordination, especially after stroke, traumatic brain injury, or in conditions like cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
For those with chronic pain, taVNS can reduce discomfort, making it easier to use the glove and improve participation. This integrated approach accelerates recovery, enhances motor learning, and can improve the quality of life for patients with various neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
You can always reach out to our experts for any inquiries regarding your ongoing treatment if you have any questions.
