My daughter is the one doing the neurofeedback. She had a QEEG and the results were analyzed by Dr. Walker (?) in Texas. The neurofeedback doctor is targeting the frequency recommended by Dr. Walker. She watches a movie and when her brain isn't generating the right frequencies it goes dark. I'm not sure what this method is called.

She actually hates going and I am considering stopping. It always seems to make her headaches worse and she's usually irritable afterwords. In the past couple of weeks, I've noticed lots of improvement - but I don't know if it's the neurofeedback, the trazodone or just plain time. Ideally, I wouldn't have done both the neurofeedback and the trazodone at the same time - but I was desperate to get some relief for her terrible sleep issues.

She' been headache free for a few 4 days now - the first time since her injury in October. I'm really hesitant to want to take her back to the neurofeedback at the risk of reintroducing her headaches - even for a day or two. It's just so nice to have a much happier kid that is actually talking about wanting to go back to school.
