ABOUT DR. CHRISTIAN LAFUENTE BERNAL

Specialist in Clinical Neurophysiology and brain neuromodulation

Dr. Christian Lafuente Bernal is a specialist in Clinical Neurophysiology, with a focus on brain neuromodulation and, in particular, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). His approach combines a comprehensive clinical perspective with a highly practical focus: rigorously evaluating each case, clearly explaining the available options, and developing a realistic treatment plan centered on goals and follow-up.

She trained as a specialist in Clinical Neurophysiology at the Regional University Hospital of Málaga and furthered her training in rTMS with a specific training period at a leading neuromodulation unit of the Gregorio Marañón University Hospital in Madrid. She currently works at the Brain Neuromodulation Unit of the Vithas Xanit International Hospital in Benalmádena and at the Rincón 101 Health Center in Málaga.

A personalized, safe, and evidence-based approach

In his practice with rTMS, Dr. Lafuente prioritizes safety, appropriate indication, and personalized treatment. To achieve this, he works with evidence-based protocols and individually assesses factors such as medical history, medication, background, and expectations for each patient.

Furthermore, he holds European certification as a sleep medicine expert (ESRS), a qualification that provides a distinct advantage in cases where sleep, mood, and cognitive performance are interrelated. He is also a member of scientific societies in his field and actively participates in teaching and clinical updates.

If you are considering rTMS, the first step is an evaluation consultation in which your case is reviewed, your doubts are resolved, and it is determined whether this therapy is right for you and what the most appropriate treatment plan would be.
