Neurological Disorders

· Alzheimer's and other dementias - Quietmind Foundation is currently studying the effects of brainwave biofeedback on executive functioning in early stage dementing illness We have found in pilot studies that this treatment has the ability to slow the rate of cognitive deterioration in people with the earlier stages of the disorder. Current research efforts are sponsored by the Phoebe Haas Charitable Trusts and under the auspices of Quietmind Foundation’s IRB. Please click the underlined link above or call Dr. Marvin H. Berman, Ph.D. at 610-940-0488 for information on becoming a subject.

· Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - It is our experience that all disorders mediated by the central nervous system can be influenced with neurofeedback training. Chronic Fatigue and related syndromes do respond to neurofeedback training techniques that result in reducing the stress of managing incoming sensory information. The improvement in neural efficiency affords the person more ease of functioning and more energy for other activities.

· Epilepsy and other seizure disorders - Research has shown that Neurofeedback training reduces the frequency and intensity of seizure activity. Our approach is multi-modal and includes psychoeducation and neuromuscular re-education techniques in conjunction with proper medication management.

· Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Recent NIH-sponsored research has shown that passive and active forms of brainwave biofeedback training can positively some symptoms of MTBI, e.g., depression.

· Tourette's Syndrome- We have seen improvement in clients with Tourettes particularly in terms of tics and involuntary vocalizations. Our approach again involves relaxation training combined with neurofeedback
