Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) result from head injuries that disrupt normal brain function. The severity of a TBI can range from mild, causing temporary dysfunction, to severe, resulting in long-term complications. Common symptoms of a TBI may include headaches, memory problems, confusion, and changes in mood or behavior.

Traumatic brain injuries can have a profound impact on individuals and their families. Athletes who’ve sustained concussions on the field, accident victims, survivors of abuse and domestic violence, and those with careers in the military and as first responders are especially prone to experiencing TBIs. Dealing with long-term cognitive impairments and the physical, emotional, and psychological changes that come with a brain injury can seem overwhelming. Neurofeedback can contribute in some unique ways to the healing process for individuals recovering from head trauma.

Neurofeedback for TBIs

Neurofeedback treatment for head trauma involves a non-invasive approach that aims to regulate brain activity and improve cognitive function. By using real-time monitoring of brain waves and providing feedback to the individual, neurofeedback helps to train the brain to function more efficiently. This treatment has been shown to help clients with their recovery from head trauma by reducing symptoms such as headaches, cognitive impairment, and emotional distress. Over time, neurofeedback can aid in restoring neuroplasticity and promoting healing in the brain following a traumatic injury.
