Accelerated TMS in San Jose: Depression Relief in Days, Not Weeks
A revolutionary new approach to brain health
In June 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the MeRT® System for the treatment of PTSD. It is the first personalized, biomarker-guided neuromodulation system to receive FDA clearance for post-traumatic stress disorder, and Brain Performance Technologies offers treatment using the FDA-cleared MeRT® System right here in San Jose.
What MeRT for PTSD actually is
MeRT® stands for Magnetic EEG-guided Resonance Therapy. Instead of a one-size-fits-all protocol, it reads your brain’s own activity and builds the treatment around it. MeRT combines EEG-based analysis with personalized TMS treatment parameters, so the therapy is matched to your individual brain patterns rather than a generic template. It is non-invasive and drug-free.
Why this FDA clearance matters
PTSD shows up differently in every person, which is part of why it has been so hard to treat consistently. Wave Neuroscience earned the clearance through a double-blind, randomized, controlled multisite trial run in partnership with the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology. The study showed significant and clinically meaningful reductions in PTSD symptom severity after treatment with the MeRT System. The system had also been granted FDA Breakthrough Device designation in 2024, a status the FDA reserves for technologies that may address an urgent unmet need.
Who MeRT can help
PTSD affects millions of people, including veterans, active-duty military, first responders, trauma survivors, and everyday civilians who have lived through something traumatic. MeRT is a non-invasive option worth exploring for people who are still struggling with symptoms despite therapy or medication. If you are not sure whether you are a candidate, that is exactly what a consultation is for.
How treatment works at Brain Performance Technologies
Your care starts with a qEEG brain map that records how your brain is functioning. Our clinicians use that data to design a protocol that is specific to you, then deliver gentle, non-invasive magnetic stimulation across your treatment course. You can read a step-by-step walkthrough on our MeRT Process page, and learn more about the technology itself on our MeRT page.
Precision mental healthcare, not guesswork
This is what people mean by precision mental healthcare. Rather than guessing, MeRT uses measurable brain data to guide treatment. It is a shift from care driven only by symptoms toward care informed by your actual brain function.
For those who have served
Because PTSD weighs so heavily on the military and veteran community, this hits close to home for us. We accept Tricare Prime and Select, and we work with veterans and military families. Learn more on our Military Families page, or see our insurance coverage information.
