Traumatic Brain Injury
Neurofeedback training has been used to help with a variety of symptoms associated with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Traumatic brain injuries can include concussions, post stroke, falls, blunt trauma accidents, vehicle-related injuries, assaults/violence, and explosions/blasts
Symptoms that have improved in individuals using neurofeedback training include:
Cognitive Impairment
TBI can often result in difficulty with attention, memory, and other cognitive functions. Neurofeedback training may help to improve these functions by helping to regulate the underlying brainwave activity.
Emotional Dysregulation
Many people with TBI experience mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Neurofeedback training may help to regulate emotional states by promoting more stable brainwave activity.
Sleep Disturbances
TBI can also disrupt sleep patterns, making it difficult to get restful sleep. Neurofeedback training may help to improve sleep by regulating the underlying brainwave activity that controls sleep cycles
Chronic Headaches
Headaches are a common symptom of TBI. Neurofeedback training may help to reduce the frequency and severity of headaches by regulating brainwave activity and reducing tension in the brain and neck muscles.
Sensory Processing
TBI can also result in changes in sensory processing, making it difficult to process visual, auditory, or other sensory information. Neurofeedback training can help to improve sensory processing by regulating the underlying brainwave activity that controls sensory functions.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of neurofeedback training for TBI varies greatly depending on specific symptoms and needs. Neurofeedback training should always be part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes other help for TBI-related complications.
Does Neurofeedback Training Help with TBI?
The success of neurofeedback training for traumatic brain injuries has been shown to be very successful Studies have shown that neurofeedback training can be an effective tool for improving symptoms associated with TBIs.
A recent meta-analysis, which reviewed multiple studies on the use of neurofeedback training for TBI, found that neurofeedback training was associated with significant improvements in cognitive functioning, attention, and memory. Another study found that neurofeedback training was associated with improvements in emotional regulation and overall quality of life for individuals with TBI.
The success of neurofeedback training for TBIs may depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, the length of time since the injury occurred, and the individual’s overall health and well-being.
