Alternative ADHD Treatment: Neurofeedback
Can neurofeedback really help your child? Here's what you need to know about this alternative ADHD treatment.
by Pamela Michaels
Cody Miller was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD ADHD) in first grade. While her behavior improved with medication, she experienced unacceptable side effects.
"I didn't care about anything," says Cody, now 14. Her parents stopped the meds, and Cody began behaving aggressively toward her parents, her friends, even her pets. Her mother turned to neurofeedback, an alternative ADHD treatment that uses brain exercises to reduce impulsivity and increase attentiveness.

Wired for Victory
December 18, 2006
A quiet mind is a winning mind.
That's why the players of the Italian soccer team AC Milan gather every two weeks in the Mind Room, a glassed-in facility at the team's chic training complex. There, on zero-gravity recliners, listening to the soothing sounds of New Age music, they unwind. In a way. Each player's head is fitted out with miniature electrodes that send a signal from his scalp to a computer, so while he relaxes he can also watch his brain waves play out, like a video game, as brightly colored zigs and zags on a monitor. read full story... |
Physical Therapy for the Brain
November 27, 2006
EVERY week for two years, Michael Hammett stared at a
computer screen, trying to open a flower with his mind.
Hammett had developed a case of carpal tunnel syndrome so
severe he needed surgery. But being a former opiate abuser, he
refused to use the medications that would be needed to control
the resulting pain. Having already tried physical therapy, he set
his mind on another alternative: neurofeedback. read full story... |
Good concept? It's a Brainwave
September 30, 2006
In a South London clinic a young girl is sitting with an electrode attached to her scalp, staring intently at a computer screen. Every so often there is a ping and on the screen, which shows a simple graphic of sea and sky, another bird appears, hovering above the water. That’s a signal that in the game Lara Hargrave, 10, is playing, using only her brain waves to control the action, she has just scored a point.
No, this isn't some new tweenage computer craze. It's a high-tech brain therapy called neurofeedback that Lara's mother Juliet claims has significantly alleviated her daughter's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Practitioners claim that the therapy, which centres on the idea that the electrical activity in our brains can be trained to become healthier, has achieved dramatic results on attention disorders, depression, epilepsy, even incontinence. read full story... |
Focus and Relaxation Translate into Improved Sports Performance
August 9, 2006
For those of you golfers out there, you know the old saying --drive for show, putt for dough!
But do you have a hard time getting in the zone? Does a lack of concentration affect your ability to sink that birdie attempt?
The latest in sports performance — neurobiofeedback — is not a new technology or technique.
Biofeedback has been used since the 70s to help people relax. But the latest generation incorporates brain waves, pulse, and respiration along with video games to help teach people off the court to focus and relax during the game. read full story... |
