 A landmark Memphis clinical trial of neurofeedback therapy shows promising results for adolescents struggling to overcome chronic childhood trauma…
It was the first randomized control trial to examine the use of neurofeedback therapy on adolescents who have suffered significant abuse, neglect, exposure to violence, and other adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs. “Basically, we found that our treatment group had enormous positive gains, specifically in emotion regulation, self-control, resilience, sleep and decreases in impulsivity, and dissociative experiences,” said Dr. Eraina Schauss, founding director of the BRAIN Center at the University of Memphis. She’s also on the faculty at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
