Neurofeedback Technology Helps Combat PTSD
From: Medical Design Technology - 08/18/2015

Neurotherapy methods like neurofeedback are designed to treat the underlying
problems at specific brain locations and neural networks, which are
associated with the presenting symptoms by changing how the brain functions.
It appears that among effective treatments are those that permit patients to
learn and re-experience a renewed capacity to auto-regulate their responses.
In my practice, I've successfully used neurofeedback to treat the underlying
physiology of active duty and combat veterans suffering from the symptoms of
PTSD and combat stress. During neurofeedback sessions, a patient learns to
shift her or his mental state in order to normalize brain rhythmicity as
displayed to them by the EEG. Patients see their own brain EEG rhythms, and
learn to self-regulate them over time.
