A couple of days ago I learned about neurofeedback therapy. There are studies showing that it works. Some recovery centers are successfully using it to treat PD patients (google "oxford recovery center parkinsons").
Today I learned that there are neurofeedback devices available on the market. From what I understand they have no side effects and are very easy to use. They cost in the range of 200 - 400$.
This doctor explains how this therapy works and provides info on how to buy these devices. As with many similar things I'm a bit skeptical, because everyone wants to make money and they don't seem to care if their product really works or not. It's sad, but what can one do...
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This Dr. runs a general neurofeedback clinic rather than specializing in Parkinson's. She says there are many papers supporting her claim regarding Parkinson's. Two are listed on her website, of which only one is actually supportive. It is not clear whether her treatment conforms to that set forth in the study:
" Here, we assessed whether patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are able to alter local brain activity to improve motor function. Five patients learned to increase activity in the supplementary motor complex over two fMRI sessions using motor imagery. ... they showed an improvement in motor speed (finger tapping) and clinical ratings of motor symptoms (37% improvement of the motor scale of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale). ...A PD control group of five patients, matched for clinical severity and medication, underwent the same procedure but did not receive feedback about their SMA activity. This group attained no control of SMA activation and showed no motor improvement. These findings demonstrate that self-modulation of corticosubcortical motor circuits can be achieved by PD patients through neurofeedback and may result in clinical benefits that are not attainable by motor imagery alone."
I regard this is as an interesting but unproven possibility.
I recently Google searched the neurofeedback treatment but didn’t find anything serious on PD. I am surprised of all the claims she is doing on her video, this is far beyond any available evidence. Actually there’s no evidence.
It’s true that increased beta band power is a thing for PD, but it’s not the same as neurofeedback
