There are on average two million reported brain injuries
every year in the US. Up to 50 percent of those can have enduring symptoms six months
or more after the injury (source-Jacobson, 1995).
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in problems with memory recall, behavior, emotional control and attention. Those affected can also become much more impulsive and exhibit poor judgment. Many often are not very aware of their problems. But a permanent solution that uses no drugs may actually be available right in their neighborhood.
Neurofeedback training seems to be a good non-invasive
therapy for brain injury. This computer-based therapy uses biofeedback to monitor
and correct irregular brainwaves. So how does it work?
Sensors are placed on
the patient’s head to measure and monitor the electrical activity that is
produced by the brain. In the case of brain injury, when there is excess delta
and theta brainwave activity the computer helps normalize these brainwaves into
proper ranges. Over time and with
multiple sessions this tends to improve the symptoms. Usually neurofeedback can help to achieve lasting
results.
