What are the side effects of MeRT therapy?

From our current data using the MeRT approach, side effects are few and generally mild. The most commonly reported side effect is a mild tension headache at the site of stimulation, which can last 1-2 hours and responds well to over-the-counter analgesics.

Other possible side effects are hyperactivity, increased agitation, or euphoria. With brain stimulation there is also a risk of seizures; however the risk is minimal with MeRT therapy.

At the Brain Treatment Center we also limit the intensity of stimulation to further reduce any possible risk of seizure activity.
