The MeRT® system has received FDA clearance for the personalized treatment of PTSD — a significant milestone in EEG-guided neuromodulation.
MeRT (Magnetic EEG-Guided Resonance Therapy) is a non-invasive, personalized approach that uses qEEG analysis of your own brain activity to guide an individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol. As an adjunctive treatment, MeRT is intended to be used alongside other care for PTSD.
Our clinic offers treatment using the FDA-cleared MeRT® system. If you or someone you love is living with PTSD, contact us to find out whether MeRT may be an appropriate part of your care.
Participants experienced an average 52% reduction in PTSD symptom severity in the FDA-cleared clinical trial.
More than two-thirds of the participants no longer met the clinical criteria for PTSD following MeRT treatment.
Participants experienced improvements that exceeded the benchmark for clinically meaningful change. This means that the participants experienced noticeable changes following MeRT treatment.
Symptom improvement was accompanied by more normal patterns of brain function.
Participants maintained and continued to improve their results during the six-month follow-up period following the start of treatment.
Results are from the FDA-cleared clinical trial evaluating the MeRT® System for the treatment of PTSD. Individual results may vary. MeRT® is FDA-cleared for the treatment of adults with PTSD.
Research suggests that PTSD may be associated with changes in how certain brain networks regulate stress, emotion, and threat response. In some individuals, these changes can be observed through patterns of brain activity.
At Brain Treatment Center Newport Beach, we use clinical evaluation and diagnostic tools such as quantitative EEG to better understand these patterns. This information helps determine whether an individualized, brain-based approach may be appropriate as part of a broader care plan.
One approach used at our clinic is MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy), an EEG-guided, non-invasive method that incorporates diagnostic information to inform treatment planning.
Not all patients are candidates for this approach. Treatment decisions are based on clinical evaluation, diagnostic findings, and individual needs.
Because we customize treatment specifically for you, this can lead to significant clinical improvements.
“It was absolutely terrifying to not know what was wrong with me or how to fix the problem. MeRT not only identified the deteriorated state of my brainwave activity, they restored its function.” – Scot Spooner, US Army Veteran
Brain Treatment Center Newport Beach is honored to serve uniformed service members, veterans, and their families.
We are in-network with TRICARE for FDA-approved rTMS therapy for Major Depressive Disorder when coverage criteria are met.
TRICARE does not cover MeRT. Our team can review benefits and discuss appropriate options based on diagnosis and eligibility.
If you are experiencing persistent PTSD symptoms and would like to explore additional evaluation options, our team is available to help.
Our New Patient Coordinator can answer questions, explain the evaluation process, and assist with scheduling.
