Concussion Research With Use Of Neurofeedback
Effectiveness Of Nuerofeedback Therapy On Post-concussion Syndrome
Post-concussion syndrome is defined by a number of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, problems with concentration and memory, weeks after a mild head injury. NeurOptimal might be effective at relieving these problems. A study by researchers at Western University entitled “The Effectiveness of Neurofeedback and Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback for Individuals with Long-Term Post-Concussive Biofeedback for Individuals with Long-Term Post-Concussive Symptoms Symptoms” found that “interventions that combine [Low Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomography] LoRETA neurofeedback and HRV biofeedback are beneficial for some individuals with” persistent post-percussive symptoms.
Treating Chronic Post-Concussion Syndrome with Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a promising treatment option for those with post-concussion syndrome. A case study released in the journal Biofeedback titled “Treating Postconcussion Syndrome Using Neurofeedback: A Case Study” found that the subject of their study, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, “demonstrated significant improvements on all measures post training with marked improvement in five areas: memory, sleep and energy level, academics, mood and irritability, and mental sharpness.”
