Step four
Continuing Treatment
Once the assessment period is complete, and we are seeing progress both clinically and on the qEEG, we will schedule subsequent two-week treatment periods. Because each treatment period lasts for two weeks, you must be able to stay in the vicinity of the clinic for the entire treatment duration. We advise that to get the most out of your treatment — and for long-lasting results — you stay for an entire 6-8 weeks of treatment (which includes the assessment period).
The comparison between the initial and second qEEG/clinical evaluation will determine if you are responding. You should also start to experience changes in the way you are feeling during this time.
Since each brain is unique, the protocol will be different for each patient as it is based on specific qEEG/ECG data from your brain and the specific condition being treated. Generally, the results of treatment can last a lifetime, though some people prefer occasional follow-up treatment as needed. However, each person is different, and protocols may vary. We will regularly schedule follow-up EEGs and meet with you to gauge your progress.
Additional Information
A typical treatment session takes about 45 minutes. You will sit in a chair while the clinical staff administers the treatment near the scalp via a hand-held magnet. The gentle magnetic impulses are delivered for six to eight seconds each minute. You may feel a slight sensation while the treatment is occurring, but it is not painful or uncomfortable.
Please note that results and improvements are based on active and strict observation of our regimens. Results may vary based on the individual users and are not guaranteed. Plus, the results of therapy can vary per individual. In general, the longer the length of MeRT therapy, the longer the changes remain.
Customised Treatment
We customise the MeRT protocol to each patient’s needs based on the results of their EEG and ECG. We then tailor the treatment protocol to the location, frequency, and amount of power used by the magnet. That’s because this technology works by using a magnetic coil to neuromodulate the brain’s electrical activity.
In other words, we first perform a quantitative EEG on each patient to determine the exact frequency of the brain. These results are then reviewed and evaluated by neuroscientists so that the treatment is specific to each patient’s unique condition and optimised for the best possible results. We will sit down with you and go over your results personally and explain your specific treatment protocol.
Because we customise treatment specifically for you, this can lead to significant clinical improvements. As a result of MeRT treatment, many of our patients feel better and sometimes go off medications, which should only on advice from a doctor.
