Therapeutic Applications of Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a powerful technique that can train the brain toward better function. Improved functioning means relief for many - i.e. migraine sufferers have no more headaches, insomniacs fall asleep easily, autistic children relate to others. What we've discovered is that disregulation of brain function is a core issue in many disorders.

The following are thumbnail summaries of our own clinical experience, and that of other Neurofeedback therapists, with various conditions. In session, we invite the brain into conversation with itself through our external feedback loops. Then, the brain self-corrects. By doing this, the brain learns and changes. Then, so does our experience of being in the world. Read more...

Essential Tremor

It is in tremor that the rhythmic basis of the organization of movement becomes apparent, and it is the rhythmic basis of brain organization to which we appeal with Neurofeedback. So it should not be a surprise at all that with Neurofeedback training we should be able to reduce symptom severity in tremor. Outcome turns out to be highly variable, however. In some cases, tremor resolves in a few sessions and does not return for a long time. In other cases, we only succeed in reducing the symptom severity. Clients may in these cases want to avail themselves of a home-training option, under clinical supervision.

The training can also be helpful for the tremor of Parkinson's, but we refer the reader to that sub-heading.
