rTMS Therapy in Plano: Personalized, EEG-Guided MeRT
At Brain Treatment Center Plano, we specialize in rTMS therapy, a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to help the brain communicate more effectively.
Our approach, called MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy), is a highly customized form of EEG-guided rTMS designed to target and nurture areas of the brain that are not fully connecting.
Treatment begins with advanced brain mapping and diagnostics, followed by a personalized rTMS plan tailored to your unique brainwave patterns. Many patients have experienced remarkable improvements in mood, focus, sleep, and overall quality of life.
While results vary from one person to the next, MeRT has shown some stunning results in a wide range of neurological conditions, as seen in many research studies and experienced by many of our patients.

What Makes MeRT Different from Other Brain Treatments
Choosing the right therapy for your needs can feel overwhelming. At Brain Treatment Center Plano, we’re here to guide you through the process and provide clarity. Our approach—MeRT—is a highly customized form of EEG-guided rTMS therapy that sets a new standard for brain health care.
What Sets MeRT Apart
- Highly Customized Treatment: We build every MeRT treatment plan around your individual EEG and EKG results. No two brains are the same, so no two treatment protocols are alike. Each plan targets the exact areas of the brain that need support, helping to restore healthy communication.
- Completely Noninvasive: MeRT uses gentle magnetic stimulation to encourage proper brain function. There are no needles, shocks, or electrical currents, just a safe, painless procedure performed while you’re awake and comfortable.
- Drug- and Medication-Free: This is a natural, drug-free therapy that doesn’t require medications, anesthesia, or downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after each session.
- FDA-Cleared Technology: The rTMS equipment used in MeRT is FDA-cleared to treat depression and OCD and is used off-label to address a range of other neurological conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder.
Why It Matters
MeRT combines the proven science of rTMS therapy with individualized brain mapping to create a treatment that’s uniquely yours. It’’s safe, effective, and designed to help your brain function at its best.

Conditions We Treat
MeRT has very successfully treated a wide array of neurological conditions.
Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder affects millions of children and their families. Read more about treatment with MeRT for Autism.
Depression
Depression, Major Depressive Disorder, and Treatment-Resistant Depression have responded well to MeRT in many cases.
Head Injuries
Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries, can have lasting ill effects. MeRT may help with recovery.
Anxiety
Studies show that those suffering from Anxiety Disorders are at an all-time high, and medications can have short and long-term side effects.
PTSD
Experiencing traumatic events or situations can have lasting ill effects, including nightmares, emotional outbursts, panic attacks, and more.
Memory and Focus
Optimizing brain function can have restorative benefits that improve mental acuity, focus, and speed of function.
The neuromodulation technology used in our MeRT program is based on rTMS therapy, which is FDA-cleared to treat Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It’s also used off-label for conditions such as TBI, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, autism, stroke, dementia, and post-COVID symptoms. Because our EEG-guided MeRT is individualized, many patients notice improvements in multiple areas of life, not just one diagnosis.

A Father tells his MeRT Story
In the third week, something happened. The family was driving around sight-seeing when they realized that they were getting lost in the California desert. Mary and Frank began to argue, and right in the midst of it, the moment they had waited six years for finally came. “I remember he said a seven-word sentence basically to the effect of ‘I want you two to stop fighting.’ And it shocked me so much that I almost stopped breathing,” Frank recounts. “I looked at my wife and said ‘Do you realize what just happened? He just said a seven-word sentence.’ I had tears in my eyes, and I was happy at the same time. He was so upset that it pushed these words through.”
From there, Frankie’s progress snowballed. They returned home after only a month, but the difference between the child who arrived in California and the one who left was striking. They had taken a video of Frankie on the plane when they started the journey, “and he’s just making baby babble,” Frank says.
We have another video of him on the plane coming back. And he looks out the window and says, ‘Goodbye California, see you soon.’ This was a nonverbal kid, 30 days earlier. And his feet are flat on the ground.”
Doctors said Frankie would continue to improve even without regular MeRT albeit a bit slower. Today, he is 11 years old, verbal, and attends a public school. He tells Frank stories about times when he wanted to speak but couldn’t.
