How Neurofeedback Helps: A Results Based Process
Embarking on a Neurofeedback Journey
Ever wondered how the gentle power of neurofeedback can realign a mind in distress?
The Neurofeedback Advocacy Project collects and updates results using an online HIPAA-compliant Results Tracking System. The goal is to reduce the severity of our clients' concerns. As well, we monitor the client's quality of life, healthcare usage, behavior, cognitive function, safety and acceptability of neurofeedback as well as client ratings and reviews.
Understanding our starting point is vital. By reflecting on the year leading up to neurofeedback, we sketched the outline of each client's unique map. We ask the client to point out five to eight concerns that they can track on a daily basis. Tracking before, during, and after neurofeedback, we begin to see a decrease in severity. Generally, clients are asked at 20 and 40 sessions to rate how well they are coping with different stressors in their lives.
Let's take a look at the results based process.
