What does COMS mean in UNCLASSIFIED

COMS stands for Combined Optical and Magnetic Stimulation.

COMS works by exposing the neural tissue to both electrical and magnetic fields which can activate sensory fibers located in the brain or spinal cord. By activating these fibers, they may produce a response that can benefit certain medical conditions or offer some form of relief from symptoms.

COMS has been used to treat various neurological disorders such as chronic pain, stroke, Parkinson's Disease, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, and Tinnitus among others.

The advantages of using COMS include its non-invasive nature, no drug interaction, faster results compared to other treatments, and fewer side effects than other forms of treatment due to its localized effect on neural tissue. Additionally, it is suitable for patients who may not be suitable for traditional medical treatment due to their condition or risk factors associated with medications and surgical interventions.

Yes, there are potential risks associated with using COMS including skin irritation from repetitive exposure to electromagnetic waves and possible interference with implanted medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators. Additionally, people who have an allergy or sensitivity should speak with their doctor before undergoing this type of stimulation as there may be adverse reactions when exposed to certain frequencies.
