There are only 4 simple stages in the MeRT℠ process.
The MeRT℠ Process
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.
Non-invasive
MeRT is pain-free and non-invasive, in fact most people find the MeRT sessions very relaxing
FDA Cleared Equipment
We only use equipment that has been cleared by the FDA. Our clinicians use this equipment off-label.
Drug Free
MeRT is a drug-free treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to retrain brain activity
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.
