Research On Migraines
Recurrent Migraines and Neurofeedback’s effects on them
Neurofeedback has been tied to the complete cessation of migraines in some study subjects. A study titled “QEEG-Guided Neurofeedback for Recurrent Migraine Headaches,” released in the journal Clinical EEG and Neuroscience, found that “[quantitative electroencephalogram]-guided neurofeedback appears to be dramatically effective in abolishing or significantly reducing headache frequency in patients with recurrent migraine.”
Case study of Neurofeedback effects on migraines
There is evidence that Neurofeedback is an effective complement to migraine medications. One case study, published under the title “Neurofeedback and biofeedback with 37 migraineurs: a clinical outcome study” in the journal Behavioral and Brain Functions, found that 70% of subjects using both neurofeedback and medications experienced at least a 50% reduction in headaches, more than those who only used medications alone (50% experienced a 50% reduction).
