AUTISM
MeRT(sm) stands for Magnetic Resonance Therapy. MeRT is a treatment for autism that is non-invasive and drug-free. MeRT utilizes rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), however, treatment is exactly tailored to each individual based on sophisticated diagnostics. These diagnostics include a qEEG (a quantitative Electroencephalogram) and an EKG (an Electrocardiogram) followed by an in-depth analysis by our scientific team to formulate an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
The qEEG allows us to see patterns of dysfunction that identify specific 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 plan.
The equipment used for treatment with MeRT is FDA-cleared. It generates magnetic waves, used to gently stimulate specifically targeted areas of the brain to improve connectivity and function. MeRT Treatment protocols have seen some incredible success in improving symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder such as speech improvements, eye contact, and connection.
DEPRESSION
MeRT for Treatment of Depression
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 Depression, including Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
PTSD
In many cases PTSD will manifest as the result of disruption in the front of the brain. It is commonplace to see two competing alpha frequencies in the frontal lobe and slow rolling waveforms (delta & theta waves) drowning out what should be a single strong alpha frequency.
BTC’s qEEG recording allows us to identify the veteran’s intrinsic alpha frequency, which is used to inform the individualized protocol with the goal of reducing competing brainwave activity. As the chaos of the brainwave activities subsides, an improvement in sleep, cognitive processing, emotional stability, and overall sense of wellbeing is often realized.
SPORTS RECOVERY
Repeated hits and sleep deprivation can cause the brain to slow or speed up
What differentiates two athletes with identical dominant physical traits? Their cognitive capability. Today’s athletes manage just about every aspect of their lives to optimize for physical performance. At Brain Treatment Center, our focus is to recover and enhance cognitive performance and ensure quality of life after retirement.
Repeated hits to the head, sleep deprivation, poor diet, chemical dependency, stress and other factors may take away your cognitive edge. If this happens, we can help by identifying the areas of your brain that may be affected and target those areas with our MeRT individualized treatment protocol. Typically, we can help optimize brain performance so you can be at your best at home and on the field.
