The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

Biofeedback, neurofeedback and neurotherapy have been discussed many times on NT. There are basically two types. Non-volitional and volitional. Volitional has a good track record. It involves the patient making active changes to though patterns to cause brain waves to change. Non-volitional neurotherapies impact various stimuli or electro or electromagnetic energy into the brain to try to change brain wave patterns. Some non-volitional therapies have a risk of seizure.
Most are only approved as relaxation therapies.Those that claim to treat brain injuries are making claims that are difficult to substantiate.

Biofeedback for head aches is a volitional form. It can have great results. It is different than the neurofeedback and neurotherapy often discussed here.
