What is MeRT Treatment?
Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is a cutting-edge therapy that combines electroencephalogram (EEG) brain mapping with customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The goal is to optimize brainwave activity and improve communication between different areas of the brain. Each MeRT treatment protocol is tailored based on a patient’s unique brain patterns and clinical presentation.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions are typically conducted five days a week, each lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes. During treatment, patients sit comfortably while a magnetic coil delivers gentle pulses to specific brain regions. Progress is closely monitored throughout the treatment cycle with follow-up EEGs and clinical evaluations. While every patient is different, many undergo MeRT for 4 to 8 weeks, though some may benefit from longer or maintenance sessions depending on their response.
Who is a Candidate for MeRT?
MeRT benefits individuals with autism who are seeking a non-invasive treatment that complements existing therapies. Ideal candidates are those who have not fully responded to behavioral or developmental therapies or want a personalized neurological approach. A comprehensive EEG evaluation and consultation are required to determine eligibility for treatment.
