MeRT: A New Approach to Autism That Gets Results!

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents unique challenges for each individual, affecting communication, social skills, behavior, and more. However, with the right support and innovative therapies, improvements are possible. One such breakthrough is MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy), a non-invasive, drug-free that has shown promising results for individuals with autism. MeRT is transforming the way we approach brain health, offering hope for families seeking alternatives to traditional therapies.

What is MeRT?

MeRT is an advanced TMS that uses gentle magnetic waves to stimulate and balance brain activity. The process involves a customized approach based on a child's specific brain patterns. MeRT utilizes three core procedures: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG), and Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG). The brain's electrical signals are analyzed through the EEG, enabling the clinicians to identify areas that need support. From there, the MeRT protocol is tailored to each child to enhance brain function and improve overall communication.

The MeRT Approach to Autism

MeRT's efficacy lies in its personalized, data-driven approach. By targeting specific brain frequencies that may be out of balance in children with autism, this therapy aims to restore optimal brain functioning. The magnetic waves used in are gentle, non-invasive, and designed to stimulate the brain’s natural healing process. Most importantly, MeRT can be combined with other therapies, providing a comprehensive solution to support children with ASD.

Scientific Backing: Research and Results

The foundation of MeRT is supported by extensive research, which underscores its effectiveness in treating ASD symptoms. Studies have demonstrated that targeted rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can lead to significant improvements in various areas of autism, including:

• Behavioral Changes: Enhanced social interaction, reduced stereotypical and repetitive behaviors.
• Communication: Improved verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
• Emotional Regulation: Reduced anxiety, frustration, and aggression.
• Cognitive Development: Increased focus, better attention span, and motivation to engage in learning.

One systematic review of rTMS for autism showed discernible improvements in both behavioral and communication domains. In addition, studies on repetitive TMS have found improvements in brain connectivity, offering better symptom management for children with ASD.

How MeRT Benefits Children with Autism

• Improved Socialization: Increased sociability and less anxiety lead to better social interactions.
• Better Communication: More effective verbal communication and a deeper connection with others.
• Enhanced Emotional Stability: Reduced frustration, anxiety, and mood swings.
• Greater Independence: Improved ability to adapt to change and cope with stress.
• Better Therapy Outcomes: MeRT complements other therapies, helping children gain more from them.

  ***MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is FDA-cleared for the treatment of Depression and OCD, but it is not FDA-approved for Autism. However, it has been successfully used off-label for conditions such as Autism, PTSD, TBI, Dementia, Parkinson's, ADHD, Learning Disorders, and post-stroke recovery. Currently, insurance may not cover this procedure, and patients are typically responsible for all treatment expenses.
