Hemoencephalography Research Studies

Hemoencephalography-A new therapy for Attention Hyperactive Deficit Disorder(ADHD): Case Report - William Mize MD

CONCLUSION:

This work documents a patient who showed clinically significant improvement after only 10 sessions using a new form of neurobiofeedback, hemoencephalography. If confirmed in controlled studies, this represents a breakthrough in treatment options for ADHD. Future studies should explore synergies between HEG and EEG neurofeedback therapies.

Anxiety, anger, depression, TBI, and HEG - Hershel Toomim Sc.D., Robert Joneson Ph.D.

CONCLUSION:

Pre-frontal treatment with HEG may have great utility in treating anxiety. Anxiety can be associated with both ‘high beta’ and ‘high alpha’ states. HEG training at the lateral prefrontal locations on the hypothesized pathways resulted, after 12 to 30 sessions, in significant symptom improvement in four samples of 9 similar cases. These results support Targeted Location theory and the role of the amygdalae in anxiety/panic Further support is provided that the targeted pathway to the amygdalae can be influenced with pre-frontal HEG training.

Neurofeedback and biofeedback with 37 migraineurs: a clinical outcome study - Stokes D.A., Lappin M.S. 

CONCLUSIONS:

All combined neuro and biofeedback interventions were effective in reducing the frequency of migraines with clients using medication resulting in a more favorable outcome (70% experiencing at least a 50% reduction in headaches) than just medications alone (50% experience a 50% reduction) and that the effect size of our study involving three different types of biofeedback for migraine (1.09) was more robust than effect size of combined studies on thermal biofeedback alone for migraine (.5). These non-invasive interventions may show promise for treating treatment-refractory migraine and for preventing the progression from episodic to chronic migraine.

Clinical usefulness of hemoencephalography beyond the neurofeedback - Serra-Sala, Timoneda-Gallart, Pérez-Álvarez

CONCLUSION:

Teens showed distinguishable patterns of HEG, which were consistent with the cognitive emotional dysregulation in cognition and emotion interaction, that is, exterior network versus internal network interactions. Disability in regulation (modulation) of emotional response to negative emotional stimuli (fear of insecurity) in adolescence is an indicator of possible future clinical and psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety with high incidence of onset at this critical age and frequent comorbidity in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. HEG pattern might be a useful marker to define maturation and future possible mental dysfunctions.

Passive Infrared Hemoencephalography for Traumatic Brain Injury - Robert Coben, Ph.D., BCIA EEG, D-qEEG

CONCLUSION:

Treatment Success was defined as a significant decrease in headaches associated with significant improvement on Neuropsychological and/or Neurobehavioral measures with no worsening of problems on any measure. The patient had to also concur that they had improved.
With this definition, 29 of our 32 patients improved over the course of treatment – 90.6 %. (.5).

Hemoencephalography for Autistic Spectrum Disorder - Robert Coben, Ph.D., BCIA EEG, D-qEEG

CONCLUSION:

Autistic Spectrum Disorder patients showed significant improvements in communication, socialization, sensory/cognition and behavior after receiving hemoencephalography neurofeedback.
