What is MeRT℠?

MeRT is a patent-protected non-surgical, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological treatment used to reprogram abnormal electrical signals in your brain to help restore brain function.

“If we can positively impact injured or non-neurotypic brains, we may not be far from improving connections in healthy brains and improving intelligence in a generalized way.”

Luke Nosek of the Founder Fund of the Brain Treatment Center

MeRT℠, which stands for Magnetic Resonance Therapy, is a highly customized use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation based on sophisticated diagnostics.

WHAT TO KNOW:

• It’s non-invasive, painless, and drug-free.

• The equipment used for treatment with MeRT is FDA-cleared.

• MeRT Treatment protocols have seen 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.

The Process

4 Steps to a Healthier You

Step 1: Record EGG

We conduct an eyes-closed 10-minute quantitative electroencephalogram (q-EEG), and 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: Data Analysis

We then analyze the EGG recording session and derive deep insight into each patient’s brain health. Our analysis combines expertly-honed algorithms with years of historical data to create an actionable cognitive report that can help your doctor determine the best path moving forward.

 

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.

Each person is unique, and our brains are no exception. We offer a personal approach to various neurological conditions to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

If you’re looking for a change, you’re in the right place.

MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, is an emerging treatment protocol that uses the combined technologies of rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram, and EKG (Electrocardiogram) to tailor treatment protocols to each patient’s unique brain wave patterns.

MeRT is non-surgical, non-invasive, painless, and completely drug-free. We use gentle magnetic waves to reprogram dysfunctional electrical signals in the brain. This, in turn, can modify behavior and restore function.

Cortical MeRT treatment delivers magnetic pulses to precisely targeted areas of the brain.

A typical appointment of MeRT consists of 30 trains of non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation delivered for 6 seconds each with 54 seconds of rest period between trains to a specific location on the head. The session lasts approximately 45 minutes.

Functional recovery is the primary objective of the treatment. Each patient is unique, and so are their results.

Expected benefits of functional recovery include:

Better sleep
Increased sleep duration
Reduction of stress symptoms
Reduction of pain
Increased concentration and focus
Improvement in mood
Increased attention span
Increased sociability
Increased motivation
Improvement in clarity of thought
Decreased cravings (e.g., drugs and alcohol)
Increased emotional stability
Increased ability to adapt to change
Improved self-confidence and self-esteem
In Autism, benefits may include, emotional regulation, speech development, better concentration, increased awareness, impulse regulation, sensory regulation and eye contact.
