I disagree with you about "if you're feeling desperate you should try..."

I think desperate people are looking for miracle cures and could easily be separated from a lot of their cash with these very expensive healing modalities - which are not backed up by Neurologists. Don't you think neurologists want people to get better and would recommend anything that might actually work?

In addition, the neurofeedback has been known to cause additional damage and even seizures in people healing from mild traumatic brain injuries. If it does work for some people then they got lucky - very lucky. There is no way to see the actually damage inside one's brain who is recovering from an mTBI, guessing which areas were damaged isn't good enough. It might be interesting to see how it works after diffuse tensor imaging is confirmed as a reliable method to see what's going on inside a person's brain after an mTBI and then to use neurofeedback - but I wouldn't risk further harm for a maybe that costs thousands of dollars.
