Concussion &
Head Injuries
A concussion is a trauma, whether slight or significant, to the brain and the central nervous system (CNS). Injuries such as this can lead to permanent trauma of CNS. This is why individuals can struggle with lingering symptoms like pain, sensory sensitivity, cognitive difficulties, mood changes, and sleep disruptions. Neurofeedback allows the brain to reclaim this trauma by developing new, helpful neural pathways to support performance optimization leading to reduction in these long-term symptoms.
People who have experienced a mild concussion tend to respond quickly to neurofeedback training, with notable reductions in symptoms after a few sessions. Those who are experiencing longer term symptoms such as post-concussion syndrome also tend to report improvements in their ability to better manage symptoms,
There have been numerous case studies presented at conferences where individuals with TBIs have had remarkable results when treated with NeurOptimal® including studies by Applied Brain Research Foundation of Ohio and Lartin et al.
