Neuro Therapy Services in Vadodara

Neurotherapy, or neurofeedback, is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that helps people improve their brain function. Neurofeedback allows you to see your own brain activity provided by an electroencephalogram (EEG), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), or other neurotechnology. It’s based on the idea that you can consciously alter the way your brain functions using real-time displays of your brain’s blood flow or its electrical activity (known as brainwaves).

Neurotherapy has become a popular treatment alternative for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and it is becoming more widespread as a treatment for a variety of psychiatric and neurological disorders including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, migraines, and brain injury. This article will explain the different types of neurofeedback currently available, which technology works best for specific disorders, and what a neurotherapy session looks like.

A variety of psychiatric and neurological conditions and symptoms are related to brain dysregulation, so there are many applications for neurotherapy. Some of the most common conditions treated with neurotherapy include:

Effectiveness of Neurotherapy

Research has found that neurotherapy can be an effective treatment for a number of conditions.

  • ADHD: Research has shown that neurotherapy induces a state of relaxed attention, and works comparably to ADHD medications. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics named neurotherapy a “Level 1 Best Support” intervention for attention and hyperactivity behavioral, on par with medication.
  • Anxiety and depression: One study revealed that after 30 neurotherapy sessions and heart rate variability training, 57% of people with severe anxiety and 45% of people with severe depression showed normal brain activity.
  • ASD: A few scientific reports suggest that neurotherapy can improve ASD-related behaviors such as stimming, emotional outbursts, and ritualistic behaviors.
  • Migraines: In a 2010 study, 62% of participants using neurotherapy reported major or total improvement in their migraines.
  • PTSD: A controlled study showed that 24 neurotherapy sessions significantly reduced PTSD symptoms. Other studies suggest that neurofeedback improves executive functioning and reduces medication use. More research is needed to confirm these findings.
 

Neurotherapy can be used on its own, but it can be even more effective when used as an adjunct to traditional therapy approaches (such as cognitive behavioral therapy).
