Neurofeedback for Neurological Disorders at Encephalon

At Encephalon, we specialize in the use of neurofeedback therapy to help individuals with a wide range of neurological disorders, including Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), Motor Disorders, Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES), and Long COVID. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, scientifically backed therapy that helps the brain regulate its activity, ultimately improving mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who have struggled with traditional therapies or have not found lasting relief from other treatments.

How Neurofeedback Helps with Neurological Disorders

Neurofeedback works by providing real-time feedback to the brain about its electrical activity, allowing it to “learn” how to regulate its own brainwave patterns. Through a series of sessions, clients are trained to adjust their brainwave activity, helping to reduce symptoms, enhance functioning, and improve overall quality of life. This approach is especially effective for those with neurological disorders, as it works directly with the brain’s natural ability to function more efficiently.

Functional Neurological Disorders (FND)

FND involves a malfunction in the way the brain processes signals, leading to a wide range of symptoms, such as motor dysfunction, sensory disturbances, and cognitive impairments, without any structural damage to the brain. Symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, tinnitus, seizures, or loss of coordination.

How neurofeedback helps FND:

  • Neurofeedback helps retrain the brain to regulate its malfunctioning brainwave activity that leads to FND symptoms.
  • By balancing brainwaves and improving connectivity between brain regions, neurofeedback promotes proper functioning and reduces symptoms like tremors, motor dysfunction, and cognitive issues.
  • Many clients experience significant improvement in managing their symptoms and improving their overall quality of life after neurofeedback therapy.

Motor Disorders

Motor disorders such as dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, Tourette syndrome, and spasticity are conditions that cause abnormal movement patterns or loss of motor control. Neurofeedback can assist by optimizing the brain’s control over movement, targeting sensory and motor areas of the brain.

How Neurofeedback Helps Motor Disorders:

  • Using Neurofeedback, we target brain regions responsible for motor control, coordination, reducing tremors, and promoting smoother, more coordinated movements.
  • By targeting specific brain areas involved in motor function, neurofeedback can help manage the neurological irregularities causing movement issues.
  • Many clients report improvements in motor coordination, reduction in tics, tremors, and spasms, and greater control and fluidity over their movements after neurofeedback training.

Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES)

PNES are seizure-like episodes that occur without the electrical signature typical of epilepsy. Instead, these episodes are often linked to psychological stress, trauma, or emotional conflict. These episodes can be difficult to treat with traditional methods, but neurofeedback offers an effective alternative.

How Neurofeedback Helps:

  • Neurofeedback helps individuals with PNES by training the brain to regulate its emotional responses and better manage stress.
  • By stabilizing brainwave activity and improving emotional regulation, neurofeedback can reduce the frequency and intensity of seizure episodes.
  • Many individuals report decreased anxiety, better emotional stability, and fewer PNES episodes after a series of neurofeedback sessions.

Long COVID

Long COVID, or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a condition where individuals experience persistent symptoms following a COVID-19 infection. These symptoms can include brain fog, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, headaches, sleep disturbances, and emotional dysregulation. Neurofeedback has been found to be helpful in managing these symptoms, particularly the cognitive and emotional challenges associated with Long COVID.

How Neurofeedback Helps:

  • Neurofeedback can help regulate the brain’s activity, improving cognitive function such as focus, memory, and mental clarity, which are commonly affected in Long COVID.
  • By addressing brain regions involved in energy regulation, neurofeedback can assist in managing fatigue and improving overall well-being.
  • Neurofeedback also promotes emotional stability, which can help individuals with Long COVID cope with the emotional and psychological strain associated with chronic symptoms.
