“In my experience with EEG biofeedback and ADD, many people are able to improve their reading skills and decrease their need for medication. Also, EEG biofeedback has helped to decrease impulsivity and aggressiveness. It is a powerful tool, in part because the patient becomes part of the treatment process by taking control over his own physiological processes.” —Dr. Daniel Amen, MD, Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.
“It improves seizures, depression, low self-esteem or congenital head injuries, and it helps the ‘craziness that often comes with these’... Patients report that they sleep better, feel better, they don’t have seizures, they are more in control, and that they get more work done. It helps with closed head injury patients. It helps with chronic neurological disease, where there is no active injury but there are problems with normal functioning. We’ve had success with multiple sclerosis, with toxic encephalopathy, with chronic pain, migraines and fibromyalgia. And, of course, we get very good results with ADD.” —Dr. Jonathan Walker, MD, neurologist, Dallas, Texas.
“Among the newer approaches to managing ADD, the most exciting is a learning process call neurofeedback. It empowers a person to shift the way he pays attention. After more than 25 years of research in university labs, neurofeedback has become widely available. This is a pleasing development, because neurofeedback has no negative side-effects.” —Dr. William Sears, MD, The ADD Book.
