Sleep

Acute and chronic pain affects more than 20,000 Penn State Students a semester and over 40 million U.S. adults. Pain impacts our mood, quality of life, social interactions, and sleep. Traditionally, medication has been used to help with pain but it is becoming more clear that medication can be addictive and also ineffective in controlling pain.

Pain

New scientific breakthroughs show the close relationship between the brain and the body in pain perception and pain relief. Through maladaptive neural pathways, the brain “learns” to be in pain. Through neurofeedback, the brain can be taught NOT to be in pain.

Neurofeedback technology has advanced significantly in recent years, offering new ways for individuals and communities to improve mental well-being. By using real-time brainwave monitoring, neurofeedback helps people learn to regulate their own brain activity, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, stress, Pain and sleep disorders. These improvements not only benefit individuals but also strengthen the community as a whole—Penn State students may perform better in school, adults can experience improved focus and emotional balance, and families often report healthier communication and relationships.

Common Questions

Brain Scans

1

WHAT IS A SESSION LIKE?

During a session, we will talk about the symptoms you are experiencing, and discuss the 24-hour report from the previous session, so that we can decide what to do in this session. You will be connected to the biofeedback equipment using water-soluble paste to hold the sensors in place. There is NO electricity or magnetism used. You can put your feet up and relax for the session. 

2

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE BEFORE I NOTICE CHANGES?

Every brain is different so the way your brain reacts to neurofeedback is also individualized. Changes start happening during the first session. Most clients notice some changes around 8-12 sessions (some good / some bad). A true commitment to change with deep neurofeedback might take awhile. If someone chooses to start with multiple sessions per week, he/she will notice change faster. 

3

WHAT AGES CAN PARTICIPATE?

  • All ages of people can participate in this treatment from infants (kids) to geriatrics (grandparents)

  • Since deep neurofeedback does not involve playing computer games or remaining perfectly still, even babies can benefit.
