Neurofeedback Treatment for CIPN and Chronic Pain
Neurofeedback has been clinically-proven to be an effective treatment for CIPN.
This treatment is known to help in lessening/eliminating the severity of symptoms for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). ¹ ² ⁴
Neurofeedback naturally retrains brainwaves to return to a balanced & normal state by selectively modulating neuronal networks without the use of drugs. Cancer and chronic pain patients are able to participate in the treatment without the risk of adverse side effects and drug interactions.
As much as 96% of cancer treatment patients report the occurrence of CIPN in the month following their chemotherapy with as many as 80% still suffering from CIPN six months after their chemotherapy has concluded.²
Up to 40% of cancer patients report “chemo brain” being a significant hindrance to the quality of life their daily lives. Chemo brain is characterized by: ⁵
- memory lapse
- difficulty focusing
- inability to multitask
- task disorganization
- aphasia
For cancer patients and survivors, neurofeedback is considered an innovative complementary & alternative medicine (CAM) therapy. ⁴
Cancer patients and survivors, along with other chronic pain patients, have reported symptom improvement/elimination in the areas of:¹ ³
- pain
- fatigue
- insomnia
- cognitive impairment
- anxiety/depression
- sensation loss
