Wouldn't it be great if it helped! Looking forward to hearing from people. Is it the same as biofeedback?

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

There are many different variations of neurotherapy based on EEG data.
This is a non-volitional system (the client is passive) that uses sound as the trigger. There are systems that use light, electromagnetic impulses, and other triggers that are usually not well explained. There has yet to be a double blind study that shows the efficacy. These systems get approved by making claims to government regulators that they have no risk of harm to the patient. Some have caused seizures and other unpleasant reactions. Volitional neurofeedback is widely used. It requires the client to make active conscious choices/changes to thinking patterns to cause EEG wave forms to improve. This system that uses sound as the trigger has been in use under various names for quite some time.
