#Online Training For Biofeedback

[joodymoond]

In this context sensors may be attached to a client and signals including muscle tension, breathing, and heart rate is measured and displayed on a computer screen.  The client with the help of coaching from a therapist learns to control these signals and bring them to a more relaxed level.

[travelseewrite]

A biofeedback instrument is a device that uses sensors to measure a signal from the body related to your nervous system that then shows you the information as it is being measured.  It is different than getting your blood pressure checked or taking your pulse and getting one reading for one moment in time.  The measurement and feedback of information are continuous.

20 Must-Know Facts to Harness Brain Plasticity, Improve Brain Health and Delay Alzheimer's Symptoms

Given that June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, let's discuss click here to learn more these 20 important facts about brain health. You may find some good ideas for the summer!

There is more than one "It" in "Use It or Lose It" -- our performance depends on a variety of brain functions and cognitive skills, not just one (be it "attention" or "memory" or any other).

Genes do not determine the fate of our brains. Thanks to lifelong neuroplasticity, our lifestyles are as important as our genes-if not more- in how our brains grow and our minds evolve.

We need to pay more attention to Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) to verify whether any intervention causes an effect, and under what specific circumstances -- The media is doing quite a poor job, in our view, to educate the general public.

The largest recent RCT (the ongoing FINGER study) and a 2010 systematic review of all relevant RCTs provide useful guidance: First, they report a protective effect of social and cognitive engagement, physical exercise, and the Mediterranean diet. Second, the average benefits at the population level appear quite limited, so we need to have realistic expectations.

Physical exercise and increased fitness promote brain functioning through a variety of mechanisms, including increased brain volume, blood supply and growth hormone levels.

Cardiovascular exercise that gets the heart beating - from walking to skiing, tennis and basketball - seems to bring the greatest brain benefits; thirty to sixty minutes per day, three days a week, seems to be the best regimen.

Mental stimulation strengthens the connections between neurons (synapses), improving neuron survival and cognitive functioning. Mental stimulation also helps build cognitive reserve, helping the brain better cope with potential AD pathology.

Routine activities do not challenge the brain. Keeping up the challenge requires going to the next level of difficulty, or trying something new.

The only leisure activity that has been associated with reduced cognitive function is watching television.

Brain training can work, putting the "cells that fire together wire together" to good use, but available RCTs suggest some key conditions must be met to transfer to real-life benefits.

The brain needs a lot of energy: It extracts approximately 50% of the oxygen and 10% of the glucose from arterial blood.

The Mediterranean Diet, supplemented with olive oil and nuts, is associated with decreased risk of cognitive decline.

Moderate doses of caffeine increase alertness but there is no clear sustained lifetime health benefit (or harm).

Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption seems to lower the risk of dementia.

Taking "brain supplements" of any kind does not seem to boost cognitive function or reduce risks of cognitive decline or dementia, unless directed to address an identified deficiency.

The larger and the more complex a person's social network is, the bigger the amygdala (which plays a major role in our behavior and motivation). There is no clear evidence to date on whether "online" relationships are fundamentally different from "offline" ones in this regard.

Chronic stress reduces and can even inhibit neurogenesis. Memory and general mental flexibility are impaired by chronic stress.

There is increasing evidence that meditation and biofeedback can successfully teach users to self-regulate physiological stress responses.

We will not have a Magic Pill or General Solution to solve all our cognitive challenges any time soon, so a holistic multi-pronged approach is recommended, centered around nutrition, stress management, and both physical and mental exercise.

Having said that, no size fits all, so it's critical to understand and address individual needs, priorities and starting points.

Does Zen Cortex Work for Tinnitus? A Comprehensive Guide

Tinnitus, the perception of sound when no external sound is present, can be a debilitating condition, impacting quality of life significantly. While there is no cure for tinnitus, various approaches aim to manage its symptoms and improve coping mechanisms. One such approach is Zen Cortex, a neurofeedback program marketed as a solution for tinnitus relief. This article will delve into the potential benefits and drawbacks of Zen Cortex, exploring its effectiveness in treating tinnitus, available scientific evidence, and user experiences.

Zen Cortex is a neurofeedback program that uses brainwave training to target specific brain regions associated with tinnitus.

Limited scientific evidence supports the effectiveness of Zen Cortex for tinnitus relief, with most studies being small and lacking strong methodology.

User experiences vary widely, with some reporting significant improvement in tinnitus symptoms while others see no benefit.

Zen Cortex is generally considered safe when used as directed, but potential side effects include headaches, fatigue, and dizziness.

Alternatives to Zen Cortex include sound therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and hearing aids.

Understanding Tinnitus and Neurofeedback

What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest as a ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring sound in one or both ears. The underlying cause of tinnitus can be varied, ranging from hearing loss and ear infections to neurological disorders and even stress.

While not a disease itself, tinnitus is often a symptom of an underlying health condition.

Types of Tinnitus

Tinnitus can be categorized into two main types:

Subjective tinnitus: This is the most common type, experienced only by the individual. It can be caused by various factors, including hearing loss, ear infections, head injuries, and neurological disorders.

Objective tinnitus: This type of tinnitus can be heard by both the individual and a medical professional. It is usually caused by a specific medical condition, such as a blood vessel disorder or a muscle spasm.

Neurofeedback Explained

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time brainwave monitoring to help individuals learn to self-regulate their brain activity.  Neurofeedback programs often use electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brainwave patterns.

During a typical neurofeedback session, electrodes are placed on the scalp to record brain activity. This information is then displayed in real-time, allowing the individual to see their brainwave patterns.  The goal is to train the brain to produce more desirable brainwave patterns, potentially reducing the severity of tinnitus.

Does Zen Cortex Work for Tinnitus?

Zen Cortex's Approach

Zen Cortex is a neurofeedback program specifically designed to address tinnitus. It uses proprietary technology and a guided approach to help individuals learn to regulate their brainwaves. The program aims to target the specific brain regions believed to be involved in tinnitus perception, such as the auditory cortex and the limbic system.

Available Research on Zen Cortex

While proponents of Zen Cortex claim its effectiveness, scientific evidence supporting its use for tinnitus relief remains limited. Most studies examining Zen Cortex's impact are small-scale and lack rigorous methodology.

One study published in the Journal of Neurotherapy in 2014 investigated the efficacy of Zen Cortex in reducing tinnitus severity.  This study involved 20 participants with chronic tinnitus. While the study reported a significant reduction in tinnitus severity for some participants, it also acknowledged limitations in methodology, and the need for larger, more controlled studies.

Positive User Experiences

Many users report positive experiences with Zen Cortex, citing a reduction in tinnitus intensity and a greater sense of control over their condition.

On online forums and review websites, individuals share anecdotes of significant improvements after using the Zen Cortex program. However, it's important to note that such anecdotal accounts are not scientific evidence and can be influenced by individual biases and expectations.

Potential Drawbacks and Side Effects

While generally considered safe, Zen Cortex does have potential drawbacks and side effects:

Limited evidence:  As mentioned, the scientific evidence supporting Zen Cortex's effectiveness remains limited.

Cost: Zen Cortex can be expensive, with the program typically requiring multiple sessions over an extended period.

Potential side effects:  Some individuals may experience side effects such as headaches, fatigue, or dizziness during or after neurofeedback sessions.

Not a cure: Zen Cortex is not a cure for tinnitus. It aims to manage symptoms and improve coping mechanisms.

Alternatives to Zen Cortex

While Zen Cortex is a relatively new approach to tinnitus management, other options exist:

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy involves using external sounds to mask or reduce tinnitus perception. This can include listening to white noise, nature sounds, or music.

How Sound Therapy Works: A Guide for Tinnitus Management

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a type of therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with tinnitus. It can help individuals develop coping strategies and reduce the emotional distress caused by tinnitus.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Tinnitus: A Guide for Clinicians

Hearing Aids

For individuals with hearing loss, hearing aids can help amplify sounds and reduce the perception of tinnitus.

Hearing Aids: Benefits and Features

FAQs: Zen Cortex and Tinnitus

Is Zen Cortex FDA approved?

Zen Cortex is not FDA approved for tinnitus treatment. However, neurofeedback technology itself is generally considered safe when used as directed.

How long does it take to see results with Zen Cortex?

The time it takes to see results with Zen Cortex can vary depending on individual factors. Some people may experience improvement within a few sessions, while others may require several weeks or months.

Is Zen Cortex covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for Zen Cortex can vary. It is best to check with your insurance provider to determine if they cover neurofeedback programs for tinnitus treatment.

Is Zen Cortex right for everyone with tinnitus?

Zen Cortex may not be suitable for everyone with tinnitus. Individuals with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications may not be eligible for neurofeedback. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if Zen Cortex is right for you.

What are the potential risks of using Zen Cortex?

As with any medical intervention, there are potential risks associated with using Zen Cortex. These risks can include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and anxiety. It is important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before starting neurofeedback treatment.

biofeedback and relaxation training for your migraines might work. look it up online, there are several journal articles to prove its effectiveness in terms of reducing frequency and how bad they get.

At first I thought this was similar to something like acupuncture, which I've also tried. But from what I briefly read online about biofeedback & relaxation training, this is definitely worth trying. I'll bring it up with my physician, I'm pretty sure they'd offer this at the VA or be able to give me a referral. Thank you 😊
