What is MeRT?
MeRT, short for Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, is an innovative treatment approach that combines various technologies to provide personalized care. It integrates Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an FDA-cleared therapy for Depression and OCD, with Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) to analyze and formulate treatments based on each individual’s unique brain pattern.
Unlike conventional TMS treatments that deliver stimulation to a single brain area at a fixed frequency for all patients, MeRT takes a more advanced approach. We conduct comprehensive testing and evaluation to determine the appropriate frequency and location specific to each patient. This customized approach is grounded in scientific analysis and tailored to the individual.
By thoroughly analyzing the initial brain function and activity patterns of each patient, we can identify areas requiring neural synchronization. Based on this detailed analysis, we create a highly personalized treatment protocol to enhance brain communication. Many of our patients have reported significant clinical improvements with this approach.*
For Parkinson’s disease treatment, the duration typically spans four to six weeks and can be conducted alongside other therapies. Treatment sessions are scheduled for 30 to 45 minutes, Monday through Friday. Remarkably, many patients have noticed positive changes within the first week of treatment.*
The MeRT Process
MeRT offers a non-pharmaceutical and non-invasive approach to treatment.
Numerous studies have revealed altered brain wave oscillations in patients with conditions like Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Autism, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, and more. The MeRT treatment protocol utilizes a magnetic field to rebalance and stimulate brain function. This cutting-edge technology incorporates advanced diagnostics and imaging techniques to tailor the treatment to each individual’s specific needs.
A significant portion of the initial research on MeRT has been conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense, focusing on veterans returning from combat. Defense One has published an article providing further insight into the Department of Defense’s research and the benefits that MeRT has shown in individuals suffering from TBI, PTSD, and MDD. Additionally, private sector studies have been conducted on various other conditions, expanding our understanding of MeRT’s potential benefits.
Continuing Treatment
Once the assessment period is concluded, and we observe positive clinical progress and improvements on the qEEG, we will proceed to schedule subsequent two-week treatment periods. To maximize the benefits and ensure long-lasting results, we highly recommend staying for a full six-week treatment program, including the initial assessment period.
The comparison between the initial and second qEEG/clinical evaluations will help determine your response to the treatment. During this time, you should begin to notice changes in how you feel. We strongly encourage the full six weeks of treatment (including the assessment period) to achieve optimal and sustained outcomes.
Since every individual’s brain is unique, the treatment protocol will be tailored specifically to you based on the detailed qEEG/EKG data from your brain and the specific condition being addressed. In general, the results of the treatment can have a lasting impact, potentially lasting a lifetime. However, some individuals may prefer occasional follow-up treatment as needed. It’s important to remember that each person is different, and treatment protocols may vary accordingly. Your provider will schedule regular follow-up EEGs and meet with you to assess your progress along the way.
Additional Information
Each treatment session typically lasts about 45 minutes. During the session, you will be seated comfortably while the neuro-technician administers the treatment near your scalp using a hand-held magnet. The magnet will deliver gentle magnetic impulses for six to eight seconds per minute. While undergoing the treatment, you may experience a slight sensation, but rest assured that it is not painful or uncomfortable.
It’s important to note that the results and improvements achieved through the therapy are dependent on actively and strictly following our treatment regimens. The outcomes can vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Additionally, the response to therapy may differ for each individual. Generally, the duration of MeRT therapy plays a role in the longevity of the changes observed.
Please keep in mind that the effectiveness of the treatment and the duration of its effects can vary based on individual factors. Our goal is to work closely with you to create the most appropriate treatment plan and monitor your progress throughout the therapy.
