What is Neurotherapy?

Dysregulation of the brain is addressed through Neurotherapy. Because brain dysregulation is linked to a wide range of illnesses and symptoms, Neurotherapy has a wide range of applications. Neurotherapy can also help you have a more positive outlook, which can help you make better decisions like quitting an addictive substance or activity. The advantages of Neurotherapy will vary depending on your treatment plan. Enhanced memory and focus, less impulsivity and anxiety, improved mental clarity, and more restful sleep are all common advantages. Neurotherapy may also help to diminish the desire for addictive substances and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.

However, Neurotherapy has several advantages that distinguish it apart from other treatments, including:

  • It's a painless procedure: The only thing that Neurotherapy entails is the placement of electrodes on the scalp to track your brain activity. Electrodes can only read what is going on inside your head. They don't send any information to your brain.
  • Has a long-lasting impact: According to a review of studies published in European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the effects of Neurotherapy, particularly among adolescents with ADHD, endure long after the training has ended. The brain will continue to work more efficiently because it has learned how to do so.
  • There are no negative side effects: Medications have the potential to induce side effects, which can exacerbate an already difficult situation. Neurotherapy, on the other hand, has no known negative side effects.

Effectiveness of Neurotherapy Treatment

Neurotherapy is a successful treatment for a variety of illnesses in studies.

  • ADHD: Neurotherapy has been proven in studies to generate a state of relaxed focus that is comparable to ADHD drugs. Neurotherapy has been designated by the American Academy of Pediatrics as a "Level 1 Best Support" intervention for attention and hyperactivity behavioral disorders, on par with medication.
  • Addiction: According to a comprehensive review released in 2016, neurofeedback may be beneficial to persons addicted to drugs, alcohol, or video games. It may even aid in the reduction of food cravings.
  • Anxiety and depression: According to one study, 57 percent of persons with severe anxiety and 45 percent of those with severe depression showed normal brain activity following 30 Neurotherapy sessions and heart rate variability training.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): According to a few scientific studies, Neurotherapy can help with ASD-related symptoms such as stimming, emotional outbursts, and ritualistic activities.
  • Migraines: According to a 2010 study, 62 percent of migraine sufferers who used Neurotherapy saw a significant or complete reduction in their symptoms.
  • PTSD: A controlled study found that 24 Neurotherapy sessions reduced PTSD symptoms considerably. Neurofeedback has also been shown to improve executive function and minimize medication use in other studies.
