All QEEG results indicated an excess of high-frequency beta activity (21-30 Hz) in 1-4 cortical areas. Forty-six of the 71 patients selected neurofeedback training while the remaining 25 chose to continue on drug therapy. Neurofeedback protocols consisted of reducing 21-30 Hz activity and increasing 10 Hz activity (5 sessions for each affected site). All the patients were classified as migraine without aura. For the neurofeedback group the majority (54%) experienced complete cessation of their migraines, and many others (39%) experienced a reduction in migraine frequency of greater than 50%. Four percent experienced a decrease in headache frequency of &lt; 50%. Only one patient did not experience a reduction in headache frequency. The control group of subjects who chose to continue drug therapy as opposed to neurofeedback experienced no change in headache frequency (68%), a reduction of less than 50% (20%), or a reduction greater than 50% (8%). QEEG-guided neurofeedback appears to be dramatically effective in abolishing or significantly reducing headache frequency in patients with recurrent migraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comment in<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21675594\">Clinical benefit to patients suffering from recurrent migraine headaches and who opted to stop medication and take a neurofeedback treatment series.<\/a>&nbsp;[Clin EEG Neurosci. 2011]<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>PMID:&nbsp;21309444&nbsp;DOI:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/155005941104200112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10.1177\/155005941104200112<\/a>[Indexed for MEDLINE]\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neurofeedback and Migraines Neurofeedback helps those with Migraine Headaches.&nbsp; Watch the video: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SKY-TlAt4co Here&#8217;s some research: Format:&nbsp;Abstract S Clin EEG Neurosci.&nbsp;2011 Jan;42(1):59-61.
