MeRT
Advanced Magnetic Stimulation.
Targeted treatment, where you need it.
A Customized & Targeted Approach to Neuromodulation
It’s important to us that it’s understood we nurture each patient uniquely. Therapy begins by identifying where each individual’s brain is having difficulty communicating.
These areas are then specifically nurtured to strengthen their functionality.
MeRT, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Therapy, is a highly customized use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS,
based on sophisticated diagnostics.
It is a non-invasive, painless, and drug-free option for the treatment of a wide range of
neurological conditions.
MeRT protocols start with a quantitative EEG or qEEG. The qEEG allows us to see patterns of dysfunction that identify varying disorders of the brain, such as learning and behavioral issues, emotional disorders, brain injury, and others. The qEEG done on each patient provides us with a map that guides each individually tailored treatment.
The equipment used for treatment with MeRT is FDA-cleared. It generates magnetic waves that allow us to gently stimulate specifically targeted areas of the brain. MeRT Treatment protocols have seen some incredible success in improving conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussions, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Disorders, and many more.
Step 1
Record EEG
We conduct an eyes-closed 10 minute quantitative electroencephalogram (q-EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG) tests that measure brain wave frequencies, heart rate and brain-heart coherence.
Our scientific and clinical teams analyze the results to better understand your brain state.
Step 2
EEG Analysis & Review
We use a patented approach with your neurophysiological data to develop a customized treatment plan that aims to encourage healthy brain communication.
All MeRT treatment parameters are approved by a licensed neurosurgeon or physician
Step 3
Treatment
While sitting comfortably, a trained technician will position the magnetic coil on your head. This coil will deliver your individualized treatment protocol to the targeted region of the brain.
The technician applies stimulation for 6-8 seconds per minute. A typical appointment is 45 minutes, 30 minutes of which involve stimulation.
Step 4
Progress Evaluation
We take sequential q-EEG and EKG recordings every 10 treatments to monitor progress and make any necessary modifications to your treatment protocol. This ensures we're always taking the best approach based on your current neurological state. A typical course of MeRT varies, but on average ranges between 4-6 weeks, Monday through Friday.
