Shape & Design
Looks like a helmet, cap, or headband—sometimes rigid like a bike helmet, other times soft and adjustable.
Contains multiple small coils arranged around the head to create an even, enveloping field.
May cover just the top of the head or extend down toward the ears and back of the neck.
Primary Uses
Brain health support — promoting circulation, oxygenation, and cellular metabolism in brain tissue.
Neurological conditions — stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome.
Cognitive function — memory, focus, mental clarity.
Mood and mental health — depression, anxiety, PTSD support.
Migraines and headaches — reducing inflammation and nerve irritation in cranial blood vessels.
Neurodegenerative conditions — Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, dementia (adjunctive support).
Strength & Sensation
Usually gentle to medium intensity — enough to penetrate through the skull without causing discomfort.
Users often report subtle tingling, warmth, or nothing at all (the brain has no pain receptors, so sensation is indirect).
Field penetration is shallower than in soft tissue but sufficient to influence neural activity.
Pro Tip: Many PEMF protocols using a helmet start with a full-body mat or chair session to boost systemic circulation, then move to the helmet to focus directly on brain function. This can improve nutrient delivery and waste removal before localized brain stimulation.
