Do You Suffer from
Intense, Unremitting Pain?

The source of some pain is localized, easy to identify, and very straightforward to treat. Unfortunately, the source of other pain is diffuse, difficult to pinpoint, and very difficult to handle. In some of the latter cases, even high doses of medication cannot provide ultimate relief.

If Your Pain is Incurable,
Then is All Hope Lost?

The case study presented below involved disabling pain that could be triggered by the slightest incident, a light touch, a change in temperature, or chewing. Sometimes the best remedy, though short of a cure, is a multi-modal approach as described below:

RESEARCH REPORT #1: This client suffered from intense facial pain fanning out over the jaw. According to her neurologist, the next step was to cut the trigeminal nerve to halt the pain. Instead, she sought treatment combining EMG biofeedback, cognitive therapy, stress management, and neurofeedback.

Gradually her pain levels subsided. After 9 months, she achieved sufficient pain reduction to resume a normal life. The pain is not completely gone, and she continues to take some of pain medication. However, by persisting with her new self-control skills developed through EMG biofeedback, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and neurofeedback, she avoided surgery and is happily adjusted.

Is There Any Hope for
Your Migraine Headaches
Besides Drugs?

Numerous case studies indicate that neurofeedback can help resolve migraine headaches for many people. The study below suggests that neurofeedback can achieve reductions in cortical excitability that produces clinical improvement:

RESEARCH REPORT #2: Ten children suffering from migraine headaches normalized their cortical negativity over 10 sessions. This resulted in a decreased incidence of migraine headaches.
