Re5 depression treatment is safe and effective for depression that has proven difficult to treat in the first attempt.

Re5 uses T-PEMF technology, an advanced electromagnetic stimulation method for depression. The treatment consists of daily 30-minute stimulation sessions that can be completed at home.

Danish research shows that the effect starts after 1-2 weeks, but generally 5-8 weeks are required to achieve the full effect, called remission or response - freedom from illness or significant improvement.

The treatment has been developed by Danish doctors and researchers over the past decade and is based on whole brain stimulation, which activates the functions of nerve cells. The treatment has been tested through randomized clinical studies at Danish hospitals.

Re5 depression treatment is also the only T-PEMF-based technology to receive CE marking under current EU legislation (MDR).

T-PEMF is an acronym for Transcranial Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields - the process and technique of inducing electrical pulses in the brain.

T-PEMF treatment offers a number of advantages over traditional treatment methods: it is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and can be used at home. The treatment is particularly suitable for patients seeking alternatives (or supplements) to medication or more demanding procedures such as ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).

The treatment is so gentle that most patients experience no discomfort or side effects during the 8-week course of treatment.

There is no need to take special precautions before and after treatment, and you can adjust the time of treatment to suit your schedule.

A course of Re5 depression treatment costs DKK 14,750 and includes rental of Re5 treatment equipment and access to ongoing technical support throughout the course of treatment.

The treatment lasts for 2 months and consists of daily stimulation sessions of 30 minutes, typically for 8 weeks (56 days).

The brain is complex and many processes in the brain are still unknown to science.

It is not known exactly why Re5 T-PEMF has shown good results in the treatment of depression.

What is known is that stimulation with Re5 T-PEMF alters a number of neurochemical processes in the brain.

The pulsed electromagnetic field influences brain cells to release important neurotransmitters related to growth and activity that improve the brain's ability to adapt and change (neuroplasticity), making it more robust.

Those who have received Re5 depression treatment have experienced the following results:

• Significant improvement in core symptoms of depression for more than 60%, including improved mood and state of mind
• More energy and initiative
• Better sleep at night
• Increased ability to concentrate

In clinical studies conducted in Danish hospitals, over 60% of those treated experienced either complete freedom from symptoms or significant improvement in their depression.

Among those who achieved complete freedom from symptoms, over half remained symptom-free two years after treatment. A follow-up study also showed that re-treatment was very effective in relapse.

Side effects are generally mild and transient, such as mild nausea or headache, and typically occur early in the course.

The results are documented in randomized Danish studies published in recognized, peer-reviewed journals

Re5 T-PEMF for depression has been developed by Danish researchers from the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with psychiatrists at the University Hospital in Hillerød, the Department of Psychiatry at Aarhus Hospital in Risskov and Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.

Indication
Re5 depression treatment is indicated for patients with moderate and severe depression as a so-called 'second-line' and non-pharmacological treatment option, for those patients who do not experience sufficient efficacy or unacceptable side effects from their first treatment attempt.

Re5 depression treatment can be carried out at home, in hospitals and in private medical practice.

Contraindications
