Neurofeedback For Seizure Activity & Epilepsy

In the late 1950’s, Dr Kamiya at the University of Chicago demonstrated that by using a simple brain feedback device, he could train cats to control their epileptic seizures. He moved on to train humans to control their epilepsy using the same method.

Neurofeedback allows the brain to inhibit slow-wave EEG (the brainwave activity associated with seizure disorders) while reinforcing mid-range frequencies associated with preventing seizures.

If you are looking to neurofeedback training as a solution for epilepsy, dedication to the process is key. You may not notice any results in seizure reduction for the first dozen sessions, and a minimum of 30 sessions would be the recommended course.

Neurofeedback therapy is safe for the treatment of epilepsy and its symptoms, but medications should only be reduced under the supervision of a doctor.

Frequently asked
questions

There are many different kinds of neurofeedback training, however at Brainworks Neurotherapy we use LoRETA neurofeedback with its detailed imaging and deep brain training.

This means we can be both specific on targeting dysregulated areas and working entire networks, such at the default mode or anxiety network.

Neurofeedback training is all about strengthening neural pathways and gaining more control over your mind, which people often feel results in a calmer and more stable experience.

There have been studies which have shown that neurofeedback can have a positive impact on those suffering from trauma, and can compliment any medicine and/or therapies recommended by your doctor or therapist.

stories

[After the Safe and Sound Protocol], I feel like I could finally connect with myself, recognize and accept who I actually am, and all of a sudden know what my needs are.

Client, 30, who presented with hypersensitivity and anxiety

So much of what people are taught about therapy reinforces that they have to think it out and work it out in their minds. Kids and adults alike over-intellectualize therapy. The SSP is a lovely invitation into your body.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Registered Nurse (RN)

I am extremely thankful for the SSP and the reduction in depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts it has given me. I am able to enjoy life again and experience calmness. I have motivation to change my lifestyle, and I’m even optimistic about the future.

Client, 22, with intrusive thoughts, generalized anxiety, and dissociation

I truly believe that the SSP resets the nervous system, and has my son feeling safe rather than being in constant fight or flight.

Parent (and occupational therapist) of son with autism

I had two strokes before I came here and my memory, concentration, and my focus and attention span were bad.  I couldn’t remember much at all.  After a few sessions I started to notice a difference in the way I was at home.  After neurofeedback I’m doing much better, I am driving and I wouldn’t drive before. I wouldn’t communicate much and now I get out and go to a couple different groups and go into crowds.  I am a teacher and now I can go back to work.

This is just a big thank you! What a remarkable treatment you offer, I have to say that the difference it has made to me is enormous. I genuinely feel much more at ease in myself and all the tension is going in my head and body. Not to mention the increase in my focus both short term and long term. I actually feel like I could make long term plans and stick to them !
