A TMS Treatment for a Wide Range of Neurological Conditions
At Brain Treatment Glenview, our treatment begins with some very sophisticated diagnostics. And once we complete this testing, our top doctors and scientists review the results. They then direct the treatment plan, which is specific to each individual.
This diagnostic step is incredibly important, as it enables us to really see what is happening in the brain. And by doing this first, we can detect specific areas of the brain that are not connecting as they should, causing malfunctions and difficulties.
Using gentle magnetic stimulation (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, or MeRT), we can target those areas and nudge them back into improved function in many cases.
While results vary from one individual to the next, we have found that MeRT has a much-improved success rate. Many patients have experienced incredible results from MeRT for a wide range of neurological conditions. Numerous research studies also prove MeRT’s effectiveness.
What Makes MeRT so Effective and Unique?
You may wonder what is the difference between MeRT and standard TMS or what makes MeRT stand above the rest. Here are some factors that make MeRT unique and extremely effective.
We tailor treatment to each individual:
Each patient’s brain scans and symptoms are the basis of the treatment protocols. And since no two brains are the same, no two treatments are the same either.
No aspects of treatment are invasive:
MeRT is safe, as we only use magnetic waves to gently nurture brain activity and connectivity.
Treatment is completely medication-free:
We use no drugs or anesthesia with MeRT.
FDA-clearance:
All the equipment used for MeRT is FDA-cleared. And treatment for certain conditions is also FDA-approved.

What Makes TMS at Brain Treatment Center so Effective and Unique?
At the Brain Treatment Center Glenview, we understand that precision and accuracy are the expectation. Setting new standards in individualized care, we proudly introduce the MagVenture Atlas™ Neuro Navigation System to our clinic. We elevate TMS treatment to new heights of accuracy and effectiveness.
In using the patient’s unique MRI data set, our system ensures pinpoint precision in coil positioning, guiding every session with unparalleled accuracy. But that’s not all. The Atlas™ Neuro Navigation System goes beyond conventional methods by creating a 3D model of the patient’s brain based on various facial and physical landmarks on the head. This innovative approach allows us to deliver treatment with pinpoint accuracy to the exact treatment location.
While others may promise precision, we deliver it with certainty. The Atlas™ Neuro Navigation System stands as the pinnacle of reliability, streamlining the treatment process with real-time navigation and personalized coil positioning. This isn’t just TMS therapy – it’s TMS therapy perfected.
With the Atlas™ Neuro Navigation, we not only meet but exceed those expectations, offering treatments that are not just effective, but consistently precise and reliable.

Our Medical Director, Dr. Mina Paiman
Dr. Mina Paiman oversees MeRT treatment at Brain Treatment Center Glenview for patients facing a wide range of conditions. Board-certified in Family Medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine, she brings a broad clinical foundation to her work, along with a nursing background that shapes her hands-on, compassionate approach to patient care.
Under Dr. Paiman’s care, patients have found relief from anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, insomnia, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, COVID-19-related conditions, and developmental delays and disorders, including autism spectrum disorder. Her interest in brain health is personal as well as professional: her husband, a U.S. Army veteran, sustained a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan, giving her firsthand insight into the toll conditions like TBI and PTSD take on patients and their families.
That personal experience informs how she practices medicine every day. Dr. Paiman is known for her strong bedside manner and her commitment to supporting patients and families emotionally, not just clinically, through some of the most difficult and uncertain chapters of their lives.
Frankie’s Father talks about his experience with MeRT
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.”
Frank, father of a child with Autism
“You know, I’m so glad we went to the brain treatment because now I can talk.” – Frankie
“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.“

The TV show “The Doctors” features MeRT as a Treatment for Autism
As a recent feature on “The Doctors” TV show, Treatment with MeRT specifically for Autism was discussed at length. Neurologist Dr. Spencer O. Miller, who has been working with MeRT for Autism for several years with very good success was interviewed by The Doctors” TV show, along with a mother of a child with Autism who had treatment with MeRT and who shares her story.
Talk to Our New Patient Coordinator for More Information
Our New Patient Coordinator is here to assist you with anything you need to know about MeRT, our protocols for treatment, fees, insurance questions, and more. She will answer any questions you have, get the details of your specific situation, and carefully explain the information you need to know to make informed decisions.
If, after speaking with her, you are interested in further exploring whether you or your loved one could benefit from MeRT, the next step would be to schedule an EEG and a consultation with our doctor.
With the EEG and testing done, the doctor can show you what is happening neurologically and what may be causing the issues. At this point, we can determine if there are benefits to be had from MeRT Treatment, and you can decide if you would like to move forward.
Life Can Be Better
With so many successful treatments for a wide range of neurological conditions, we hope you will look further into the possibilities that MeRT Treatment offers. It can bring great benefits and improve your quality of life!
