Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), including EEG-guided MeRT®, is a non-invasive, medication-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
In 2016, TRICARE approved coverage for rTMS therapy for adults diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder who meet clinical criteria.

Conduct a EEG and EKG to assess brainwave activity and brain-heart coherence. These diagnostic tests help identify irregularities and guide the treatment approach.
Using data from the EEG and EKG, a scientifically driven and individualized treatment plan is created. This protocol is designed to restore optimal brain function and improve communication between neural pathways.
With the treatment protocol established, sessions are conducted five days a week. During each session, a magnetic coil applies gentle, targeted stimulation to specific brain areas. Treatments last about 30 minutes to 45 minutes, with magnetic pulses delivered intermittently. Patients remain seated comfortably, experiencing only mild sensations, and are asked to close their eyes during stimulation.
Every two weeks, progress is reassessed using updated EEG and EKG tests. The treatment protocol is adjusted based on these results to ensure continued improvement. For optimal outcomes, six to eight weeks of treatment is typically recommended. While compliance with the regimen is crucial, results may vary by individual, and treatments beyond FDA-cleared uses for depression and OCD are considered “off label.” Research continues to support MeRT®'s effectiveness across various conditions.
MeRT® is used to address a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
