Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Treatment Options

Neurofeedback is a safe and effective treatment to greatly reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and many other disorders. Clients typically respond to neurofeedback rapidly, with significant results noted within a few months of starting treatment.

Medication:

There are a myriad of medications available as treatment options for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, many of which have numerous side effects. Your physician would be the resource for more information about this option. Medication treats the symptoms, but does not address the true cause of the disorder. Effects are typically short-term; thus, this type of treatment is often on-going, with mixed results. Many of our clients are looking for a treatment plan without medication. We will work with your doctor in reducing or eliminating medications.

Nutrition:

Many health experts agree that improved nutrition often plays at least a limited role in relieving some symptoms in many disorders, including Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and should be included in treatment options for most people. Dallas Brain Changers can assist you in finding healthier nutritional choices and/or can guide you to an appropriate nutritional professional.

Counseling/Psychotherapy:

When performed alone or practiced in conjunction with medication intervention, counseling and psychotherapy is a popular and well-known anxiety treatment. However, this form of intervention may become a long-term and expensive endeavor, often spanning many years, with widely varying results.

Dallas Brain Changers Treatment Option:

When an integrated approach is utilized, involving both counseling and neurofeedback, results are achieved exponentially, often within a few months, and are proven to be more effective and long-lasting.

Neurofeedback Treatment:

*Neurofeedback is an effective, non-drug, non-invasive treatment option that has been proven to permanently reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with many disorders, including Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It is a technique of operant conditioning which directly changes brain function. Neurofeedback dramatically affects arousal regulation. In so doing, this ‘brain training’ can normalize the propensity to high or low arousal as seen in the qEEG or Brain Map of those with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Furthermore, neurofeedback directly acts on specific brain activity known to be altered in these disorders. Neurofeedback is an option for those seeking treatment without medication.

Neurofeedback Research  Study: Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

Mary Donaldson M.Ed, Horst Mueller Ph.D, Stuart Donaldson Ph.D.and Gabriel Sella M.D.

This study presents several novel and important results that contribute to the clinical appreciation of fibromyalgia. Other studies utilizing EP, PET, SPECT techniques supports the theory that fibromyalgia may be a disorder marked by significant changes in brain function. The QEEG data appears to take this a step further suggesting that the psychological status of fibromyalgia sufferers effect brain wave patterns and pain responses. This suggests the presence of subgroups in this populace. Hopefully this study will lead to more research and increased success particularly in using medications to treat this difficult condition.

*Interested clients are advised to make an informed choice regarding Neurofeedback therapists, since there are several treatment options available. It is advised to look for a provider who is board certified by BCIA and a member of AAPB.
