At True Performance RSF, our mission is to help patients restore brain function and reclaim control through innovative neurological therapies. One of our most advanced options is TransLingual NeuroStimulation (TLNS), a groundbreaking treatment that supports recovery, brain health, and performance enhancement.
TransLingual NeuroStimulation (TLNS) is a neuromodulation therapy that stimulates the brain and central nervous system by targeting cranial nerves through the tongue. Unlike medications, which only manage symptoms, TLNS directly activates neural pathways to encourage healing and neuroplasticity.
During treatment, small electrical probes deliver gentle pulses to the tongue. Patients typically experience only a mild tingling sensation. These pulses stimulate the 5th cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve), which connects deeply into the brainstem and cervical spinal cord.
By activating these nerve nuclei, TLNS effectively “lights up” the cortex, priming the brain for better performance and healing. Studies have shown that just 30 seconds of TLNS can result in up to 7 hours of increased cortical excitability, boosting the impact of subsequent therapies in a rehabilitation program.
At True Performance RSF, TLNS is often used before other neurological treatments to maximize neuroplasticity and accelerate recovery.
TLNS may be recommended as part of a personalized rehabilitation or performance plan after comprehensive evaluation.
