Neurotherapy, sometimes called EEG biofeedback and/or neurobiofeedback involves techniques designed to manipulate brain waves through non-invasive means and are used as treatment for a variety of psychological and medical disorders. The disorders covered include ADHD, mood regulation, addiction, pain, sleep disorders, and traumatic brain injury. This book introduces specific techniques, related equipment and necessary training for the clinical practitioner. Sections focus on treatment for specific disorders and which individual techniques can be used to treat the same disorder and examples of application and the evidence base for use are described. - An introduction for clinical practitioners and psychologists investigating neurotherapy techniques and application - Includes coverage of common disorders such as ADHD, mood regulation, addiction, pain, sleep disorders, and traumatic brain injury - Includes evidence base for use - Includes training methods for new users

Neuromodulation – or more specifically neurofeedback – as a treatment for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) has long been practiced, and recent advances in research and equipment have provided information on how these neuromodulation techniques might work. Recent studies show promising effects of neuromodulation as a treatment for ADHD, but there are many differences between the methods used. Because EEG neurofeedback yields the best-documented results, commonly used EEG protocols, such as theta/beta training, SMR and slow cortical potential training, are described and reviewed. qEEG and phenotype-based protocols are compared to more general assumptions about neuromodulation and ADHD. The protocols are also compared and combined into a neuropsychological model of attention, leading to an understanding of how different protocols can lead to similar results in the treatment of ADHD. Furthermore, neuropsychology is discussed with regard to how it may help with understanding how behavior is changed by neuromodulation. Finally, behavior and learning are discussed in relation to neuromodulation.

Download and read online ebook Handbook of Clinical QEEG and Neurotherapy write by Thomas F Collura. This book was released on 2016-11-03. Handbook of Clinical QEEG and Neurotherapy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book is an essential resource describing a wide range of approaches and technologies in the areas of quantitative EEG (QEEG) and neurotherapy including neurofeedback and neuromodulation approaches. It emphasizes practical, clinically useful methods, reported by experienced clinicians who have developed and used these approaches first hand. These chapters describe how the authors approach and use their particular combinations of technology, and how clients are evaluated and treated. This resource, which is encyclopedic in scope, provides a valuable and broad, yet sufficiently detailed account, to help clinicians guide the future directions in client assessment and neurotherapeutic treatment. Each contribution includes literature citations, practical information related to clinical interventions, and clinical outcome information.

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are among the most common psychiatric conditions, resulting in serious behavioral impairments and cognition decline. Acute and chronic drug abuse, drug dependency and drug withdrawal result in significant alteration of the electroencephalogram (EEG). EEG biofeedback has been used in the treatment of alcohol and mixed substance abuse in residential inpatient populations. More recent outpatient approaches have used quantitative EEG (qEEG) guided neurofeedback, neurofeedback (NFB) integrated with motivational interviewing and LORETA neurofeedback. A recent review of the state-of-art of qEEG and NFB in SUD and earlier reviews have detailed the efficacy ratings and clinical uses of NFB for SUD. In these reviews NFB is rated “probably efficacious” as an add-on (adjunct) treatment to other therapies, namely 12-step programs and/or cognitive behavioral therapies, or other types of psychotherapies or residential programs. Neurofeedback is not yet validated as a stand-alone therapy for addictive disorders and cannot yet be considered a mainstream therapy for addiction. Many persons with SUD have comorbid conditions that need to be considered in designing a treatment plan that incorporates neurofeedback. These include mental conditions such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that may require separate neurofeedback treatment for those specific conditions either preceding neurofeedback treatment for addiction, or incorporated into it. This approach may require separate assessments during the course of therapy to determine response and the need to change protocols or seek other treatments, i.e., medication or psychotherapy, to integrate into the treatment plan update.

Neurofeedback involves EEG frequencies that are unique to each patient and influenced by the introduction of psychotropic medication. This requires the neurofeedback provider to understand the behavioral correlates of EEG frequencies and the effects introduced by psychotropics. This chapter is designed to provide an overview of broad classes of medications related to cognitive and EEG effects, as well as to offer implications for the neurofeedback provider in incorporating these effects to optimize treatment design. The chapter provides an overview of the acute and long-term impact of medication classes on cognitive function and EEG patterns. Medication-related EEG shifts in absolute frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha beta) are explored across anxiolytics, stimulants, antidepressants and antipsychotics. It is intended to highlight major trends in medication-related changes affecting cognition and EEG relevant to neurofeedback design. Each section contains summaries of potential cognitive/behavioral and EEG effects and recommendations for neurofeedback providers, with emphasis on individualized, repeated assessment.
