Concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), are often considered a temporary injury. However, many people often suffer from chronic headaches, sleep disorders and cognitive impairment for years after the original event. Neurofeedback has been an effective treatment in dealing with many of the continued symptoms which can be ongoing.
A recently published randomised controlled trial by Carlson et al. investigated the efficacy of Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback (ILF NFB) as a potential non-invasive treatment method. Veterans with long-lasting post-concussive symptoms were treated with ILF NFB over several weeks.
After 20 sessions over 8-10 weeks the participants reported significant improvements in headache and pain perception; sleep quality; cognitive performance and mental stress and quality of life.
