1 Breaking the Stigma: Closed-loop, Allostatic, Acoustic Stimulation Neurotechology for Symptoms of Military-related Traumatic Stress Charles H. Tegeler, MD McKinney-Avant Professor of Neurology No conflicts to report Closed-loop, Allostatic, Acoustic Stimulation Neurotechology for Military-related Traumatic Stress: The WFSM HIRREM Research Program Selected concepts on brain management of stress/trauma The HIRREM method Selected highlights of HIRREM research to date: Insomnia studies Military-related traumatic stress Questions 1
2 Military Post-traumatic Stress (PTS) PTS/TBI are signature injuries of recent conflicts, with a host of associated symptoms (hyperarousal, insomnia, depression, re-experiencing traumatic events) PTS is stigmatized, ignored, but may lead to chronic symptoms, conditions, illnesses Evidence of brain imbalance, autonomic inflexibility, impaired autonomic cardiovascular regulation in PTS Substantial drop out rate for current therapies, many fail to benefit, and some risk of adverse events Need for additional effective, short term, noninvasive, non-drug approaches Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center Background Brain frequencies (Hertz) and amplitudes (microvolts) are usually fairly balanced Trauma of all types (physical and non-physical) may activate autonomic nervous system survival responses resulting in imbalance in frequencies and amplitudes Due to brain plasticity/ability to change, repeated or severe/persisting trauma/stress responses may become the new norm (accumulating allostatic load) If imbalance gets stuck/persists beyond time of need it may interfere with performance and resilience, or cause symptoms and diseases 2
3 Background: Not just a side to side brain balance issue Distribution of electrical amplitudes across frequencies (proportionation, harmony, overall arousal) also important Maldistribution of amplitudes across frequencies, or overactivation (hyperarousal) in specific frequency bands, may interfere with performance, lead to dysfunction Like if the entire brass section is playing too loudly, the orchestra will not sound good (disharmony) Excess amplitudes in high frequencies appear to correlate with reported insomnia, anxiety, etc. (e.g. the hyperarousal theory of insomnia) Allostasis/Allostatic Model (Stability through change) Healthy set points can adapt flexibly to changing demands Medication set point is clamped (loses flexibility and range) Diseased set points are stuck to respond at a particular level Recalibration Sterling,
4 High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM) High-resolution, relational, resonance-based, electroencephalic mirroring (HIRREM, Brain State Technologies, Scottsdale, AZ) Noninvasive, non-drug, closed-loop, allostatic, acoustic stimulation neurotechnology using software-guided algorithmic analysis to identify and translate selected brain frequencies into audible tones of varying pitch Rapid updating on electrical pattern (brain listens to song it is playing), and resonance, supports recipient-unique, whole brain auto-calibration, self-optimization, and relaxation, or re-set of oscillating neural-networks (as with a musical instrument tuning itself; like new sensory system) Brain electrical activity is observed to shift, on its own, towards improved balance/proportionation, often with reduced hyperarousal Premise is that with this precision-guided, inside-out process, if balance, optimal proportionation, and increased flexibility are restored (allostatic load relieved), symptoms may be reduced, and function improved HIRREM Inside-out Process Facilitates Relaxation and Increased Flexibility of Brain Rhythms Relaxation and Flexibility of Brain Rhythms HIRREM Potential Impacts on Health, Performance = HIRREM path to relaxation and flexibility in brain rhythms = Recipient path from relaxation to achieving health and other objectives 4
5 HIRREM In-Office Process Initial brain assessment at standard locations Series of sessions ( minutes each): 3-10 protocols 6-40 minutes for each protocol Data reviewed after each session for future protocols Some protocols done with eyes closed, others eyes open 5

15 Narrative Feedback Quotes Military Pilot Study MP01: I must say though that the two weeks down there did me a world of good. Thank you again and please tell everyone hi for me. (V5 scores; PCL-M -24, ISI -9, CES-D 23) MP20: I feel that you have restored my hope in life and given me another shot at this world. (PCL-M -27 points at V2) MP21: Thanks for everything. You have given me a second chance at being happy in life!! (CES-D -30 points at V2) 15
16 HIRREM for Military-Related PTS In a cohort with symptoms of military-related PTS, we observed reduced symptoms of PTS, depression, insomnia, and anxiety associated with the use of HIRREM No dropouts, serious adverse events, and benefits appear durable to 6 months post-hirrem Noninvasive, non-drug, precision-guided, patient-centric, relatively brief intervention Improved autonomic cardiovascular regulation (HRV/BRS) Improved network connectivity on brain fmri No control group was possible, but taken together these results suggest that HIRREM merits further consideration as an alternative approach to reduce symptoms of militaryrelated PTS, particularly in the Special Ops community Overall Future Directions Support FDA application for indication of insomnia Additional controlled trials (civilian PTSD, persisting symptoms after TBI, pre-hypertension, others) Extend/expand military work, and explore opportunities in law enforcement/firefighters, others Explore wellness/prevention, stress reduction, improved sleep, resilience, and relaxation Potential to avoid/mitigate adverse effects of acute or chronic stress (turn off the stress spigot before it turns into a raging torrent downstream; prevention/wellness, improved performance) 16
17 Other Directions and Opportunities Explore dose-response, potential of fewer in-office sessions Explore use of a new wearable, limited scope device to minimize in-office sessions, extend benefit, or use alone, for prevention, wellness, performance improvement Seek additional collaborators and collaborations Study medical students, nurses, athletes, law enforcement, other populations Audacious goal to eliminate PTSD as a formal diagnosis Thank You The HIRREM Research Team ctegeler@wakehealth.edu 17
