Consultation

Introduction?

Neuronic consultations go hand-in-hand with our product as we believe people should fully understand the application of photobiomodulation (PBM). It’s a lot more than simply shining a light on your head.  While the pre-set protocols are extremely basic applications of PBM, and easy to use, having a custom designed protocol based on Quantitative EEG (QEEG) results and personal history will greatly enhance your PBM functional benefits.

What’s included?

With purchase of the Neuradiant 1070 Plus, there are six 30-minute online sessions with a senior Neuronic clinical consultant. From the time you place your order, we request you book your appointments and complete them within a three month window to maximize your benefit and ensure that we can provide the highest quality service.

Once you purchase the device, we will send you detailed instructions on the steps to follow to prepare for consultation and book your first appointment. 

Note: If you purchased the Neuradiant 1070 with consultation and have some neurological or psychological condition, please refrain from utilizing the device until the first consultation session takes place so you can follow individualized  instructions given by one of our clinicians. 

Consultation Overview 

Each consultation is personally tailored to your needs, and therefore can vary between clients. Below you can find a general overview of what can be discussed in each online consultation sessions: 

• Session 1: Introductions and reviewing relevant history, helmet fitting, managing goals & expectations
• Session 2: Review of baseline qEEG and setting up custom protocols 
• Session 3 to 5: Manage goal progression and reviewing protocols. Ongoing dialogue regarding goals and progress.
• Session 6: Review a second qEEG (post-light stimulation results)  results. Plan next steps and consider optional ongoing consultation if needed.

What is a qEEG? 

QEEG or Quantitative EEG is an electroencephalogram (EEG) which is a non-invasive recording of brain electrical activity. During this painless test, 19 small sensors, using small amounts of conductive gel or saline-soaked sponges, are attached to the scalp to record the electrical signals produced by the brain. The recorded data is analyzed by Neuronic’s clinical consultation team who are internationally recognized experts in this analysis.

Why should I obtain a QEEG brain map? 

QEEG-based consultation greatly increases Neuonic’s consultants’ ability to design individualized PBM protocols and will produce the most rapid and lasting improvements in both cognition and behavior. 

We encourage users to repeat the QEEG recording after a few months, to allow the consultants to accurately compare the impact of the PBM stimulation and further refine the Neuradiant 4Q protocols.

Neuronic does not currently provide QEEG assessment services so the QEEG is an extra cost and can vary depending on location between $200-$350. This is a medical test and can be billed to Medicare and other third party insurance if provided by a provider who is allowed to bill for the acquisition of EEG (CPT-95816). We will, whenever possible, help you get in touch with qualified QEEG practitioners near you. 

If you have purchased the Neuradiant 1070 with consultation and need support finding a qEEG provider, please contact consultation@neuronic.online

How often should I get a qEEG for consultation?

The frequency of qEEG recordings should be determined  by the observed changes in target symptoms and  availability of time, energy, and resources that can be dedicated to the consultation process. 

Generally we suggest quarterly assessments. In terms of the 90-day consultation timeline, we recommend clients to get a baseline qEEG before the first consultation and a second qEEG between consultation sessions 5 and 6, i.e., near the end of the 3-month consultation process.
