Clinical Outcomes in Addiction: A Neurofeedback Case Series
نویسنده
چکیده
This case series (N = 30) shows the impact of an addiction treatment approach that uses phenotype-basedneurofeedback in an integrated clinical treatment (Crossroads Institute), which combines targeted brain recovery exercises and neurotherapy. We present pre– and post–neurocognitive testing and electroencephalography/quantitative electroencephalography measures of the phenotype findings in this polysubstance-based addict population. The electroencephalography phenotypes identify two separate drive systems underlying individual addiction: central nervous system overactivation and obsessive/compulsive drives. In addition to sobriety and abstinence, the neurocognitive improvements documented are particularly impressive.
