Z-score LORETA Neurofeedback as a Potential Therapy for Patients with Seizures and Refractory Epilepsy

Koberda, J. Lucas, Frey, L. (2015) · Journal of Neurology and Neurobiology

Approximately 30 % of epilepsy patients are resistant to conventional medical therapy. Therefore, alternative forms of treatment are needed to improve efficiency of these therapeutic regimens. Neurofeedback (NFB) has been becoming recognized as one of the promising therapies improving control of medically refractory epilepsy cases. This multi-case paper describes our experience with LORETA Z-score NFB as a tool for control of patients with seizures.

Pain Management Using 19-Electrode Z-Score LORETA Neurofeedback

Koberda, J. Lucas, Koberda, Paula, Bienkiewicz, Andrew A., Moses, Andrew, Koberda, Laura (2013) · Journal of Neurotherapy

Z-score LORETA neurofeedback (NFB) has been found in case reports to be an effective and promising form of neuromodulation, relieving many neuropsychiatric symptoms. LORETA imaging that identifies dysregulation in the structures of the brain that are involved in pain regulation has made it possible to design a targeted NFB therapy. This article describes the effective delivery of targeted LORETA NFB to treat chronic pain in four selected patients.

Application of Neurofeedback in General Neurology Practice

Koberda, J. Lucas, Hillier, Donna S., Jones, Barry, Moses, Andrew, Koberda, Laura (2012) · Journal of Neurotherapy

Neurofeedback (NFB), also called EEG biofeedback, is infrequently applied in general neurology practice. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the clinical usefulness of NFB in neurological settings. Over the period of approximately 15 months, 25 subsequent patients who were interested in NFB therapy and completed at least 20 sessions of NFB treatment were analyzed for potential clinical benefits. Patients’ subjective responses were collected after NFB treatment to see if any improvement of symptoms was accomplished with NFB therapy. Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) was completed before and after NFB therapy initiation and analyzed for any major changes in frequency bands expression. Patients’ analysis revealed 84% subjective improvement rate and 75% objective QEEG improvement after completion of NFB therapy. These encouraging results indicate the need for more broad utilization of NFB in general neurology practice.
