Deans' stroke musings: The Effect of Neurofeedback Training Using Display After Stroke

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The Effect of Neurofeedback Training Using Display After Stroke

Your doctor should be able to afford the $113 to help her/his patients get better.

You will notice that no physical changes were described, only beta waves, nothing objective.

Abstract:

This study investigates the changes in the brain wave of stroke patients through neurofeedback training (NFBT) using display. Thirty stroke patients were assigned to two group: 14 patients in the NFBT group, and 16 in the control group. NFBT group played the display game by watching the monitor with the poles attached, and his awakening level was controlled. The training time for this trial was set at 30 minutes, during which a 3-minute training module was conducted 10 times, and trained as five times a week for 6 weeks. Their brain waves were measured pre- and post-training through electroencephalography. In result, the frontal and parietal lobes in particular of NFBT group showed significant differences in activation after the test (p < 0.05). But there were no significant differences between before and after intervention in control group. This study suggests that rehabilitation by NFBT is effective in changing relative beta waves and improving cognitive function.
