Recurring Intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors or rituals with the goal of reducing anxiety related to the intrusive thoughts are the hallmarks of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Research using EEGs have revealed abnormal activity which suggests that these thoughts and behaviors stem from distinct brainwave patterns which indicate disruptions in motor control and cognitive flexibility.
Typically, treatment for patients with OCD entails Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention, the use of medications, or a combination of these modalities. While some people respond well to these treatments, individuals who experience negative side effects to the medications or with more severe OCD may not see the results they had hoped for.

MeRT is a highly customized form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). TMS has had FDA-clearance for the treatment of OCD since 2018. Based on the Yale-Brown Scale for OCD, patients have reported decreases in the severity of their compulsions and lowered rates of anxiety or depression surrounding their obsessions, and an increased ability to resist their compulsions.
