New NIMH Research to Test Innovative Treatments for Children with ADHD

I am a new member to the group. I have an interesting hhealth history in that this June 7th will be the 42nd anniversary of my brother donating me one of his kidneys. Back in those days , transplants were strictly research not yet FDA approved and could only be performed as a last ditch effort...

I suffered from partial seizures for 15 years before a neurologist put me on Lamictal (pricey but effective) and I've been seizure free for 3 years. But I also have a very bad case of ADHD. I've had it since I was a kid but it's only gotten worse as I grow older (I'm 43 now.) The same...

Question to all out there using the NFB system doesn't matter the brand. With the number of electrodes that get placed/ pasted to the scalp and then having to be in a specific spot time after time has anyone developed or devised a hat that is customized for the patient? Reason for the question...

For those that have gone down the way of NFB have you asked that your Dr. write a Rx in the hopes that this can be used for insurance purposes. If so how is it being handled seeing that there is no set amount of visits per month or year? Just trying to figure out what is the best approach should...

Can you get Neurofeedback if you do not have seizures that show up on eeg? I have had a ton of seizures without any of them showing up on an eeg. So would I be a candidate?

So who all has tried Neurofeedback? Is this something that you see as a long term maintenance something that is done short term or do you see this a stopgap to other therapy not sure if this is worded the best but it seems that the world is changing fast the way we think the roads that we will...

Hi. I am new here. I am so glad that I found this wonderful site! I have a 12 year old son who has had epilepsy for nearly 6 years. He is on Depakote (the only drug we have tried) and has had some success with it (a few seizures per day every year, increasing last 1 1/2 years). His blood...

Hopefully one day this will be put into the forum Hall of Fame, but for now I will just begin the story of Rebecca's experience with Neurofeedback. We are going to the EEG Institute in Woodland Hills, CA. It is about an hour away from our house. Her first visit was yesterday, March 13, 2008. We...

Hello all, My 5 yr old daughter has absence seizures and we are in the process of shopping for neurofeedback systems. We are lucky enough to have a certified provider in town that we will be using as our guide/consultant as we get started. I would welcome any opinion on why we should purchase...

The following article caught my eye because my father suffers from a mild case of tinnitus. I seem to recall several members here having tinnitus too. Emphasis is mine: The Brain Activity Behind Tinnitus Uncovered Here's a link to the abstract of the research article (currently there is a...

I am hearing a lot of great stuff about neurofeedback, but the problem is it is VERY expensive whether you go to a specialist or get the equipment yourself (which I'm not even sure is legal). Until they begin to make neurofeedback commercially available, this will remain a playtoy for the...

I hear so much talk about EEG feedback being good for persons with seizure problems. I've been wanting to get hold of one for years. Problem is, insurance won't cover this and visits to a technologist will add up to about the same cost as simply getting a EEG machine for oneself (an...
