nexalin device

[bassofspades]

i don’t know how long this has been under investigation, but apparently a device from Nexalin might be able to help pwp with not only sleep and anxiety issues, which it is indicated for, but possibly physical symptoms as well. I don’t know what the current status of the study is but it’s worth checking out. I was watching cnbc and they had a commercial for Nexalin, a device that is used for sleep disorders, and when I looked into it, I thought, hey, maybe it might be useful for pd. So I typed something into Bing AI chat bot and it said it was currently being studied and showing positive results so far. More in depth study is needed at this time. At least it wasn’t just a mouse model this time!

Hi dear bassofspades, ask if this is something similar to Neurofeedback. If that were the case, think twice, had 20 sessions twice a week at 90euro per session. Result: zero.

I asked the meta ai if nexalin is considered a neuromodulation therapy and neurofeedback therapy here's the answers.

Yes, Nexolin is considered a form of neuromodulation therapy.

Nexolin is a non-invasive, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device used to treat various conditions, including:

1. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

2. Anxiety disorders

3. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

4. Chronic pain

5. Insomnia

As a neuromodulation therapy, Nexolin uses magnetic fields to stimulate or modulate brain activity, specifically targeting areas involved in mood regulation, emotional processing, and pain perception.

*Types of Neuromodulation:*

1. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

2. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

3. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

4. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

5. Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)

*Mechanisms:*

1. Modulating neural activity

2. Enhancing neuroplasticity

3. Regulating neurotransmitter release

4. Influencing brain wave patterns

*Benefits:*

1. Non-invasive

2. Low-risk

3. No surgery or implant required

4. Potential for long-term effects

5. Can be used in conjunction with medication or therapy

*Clinical Evidence:*

Nexolin has been studied in clinical trials, demonstrating efficacy in treating depression, anxiety, and other conditions. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Nexolin is suitable for your specific needs.

Yes, Nexolin can also be considered a form of neurofeedback therapy.

Neurofeedback therapy involves training individuals to control their brain activity, typically using real-time feedback from electroencephalography (EEG) or other neuroimaging techniques.

_Nexolin's Neurofeedback Component:_

1. EEG-based feedback: Nexolin uses EEG sensors to monitor brain activity.

2. Real-time feedback: Patients receive immediate feedback on their brain activity.

3. Self-regulation training: Patients learn to control and modify their brain activity.

_Neurofeedback Mechanisms:_

1. Operant conditioning: Patients learn to associate specific brain activity patterns with rewards or feedback.

2. Neuroplasticity: Patients' brains adapt and change in response to training.

3. Self-regulation: Patients develop skills to control their brain activity.

_Nexolin's Neurofeedback Applications:_

1. Peak performance training

2. Anxiety and stress management

3. Attention and focus enhancement

4. Sleep improvement

5. Mood regulation

_Key Differences from Traditional Neurofeedback:_

1. Nexolin's proprietary algorithms and protocols

2. Integration with TMS technology

3. Focus on specific clinical indications (e.g., depression, anxiety)

_Clinical Evidence:_

Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Nexolin's neurofeedback component in:

1. Improving cognitive function

2. Reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression

3. Enhancing sleep quality

Consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Nexolin's neurofeedback therapy is suitable for your specific needs.

So there you go.

Yes that’s it. It doesn’t help us.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (for our purposes anyway) is as phony as a $4 bill. Sorry about that.

Hello Bassofspades

Thank you!

This is really good news.

This therapy approach is analogue to TMS (In your list), a tool to measure the neuroplasticity and treat it.

I worked a bit in this field , and wrote a review together with a friend neurologist expert in this field for MS patients, more than 10 years ago . At the time he made a clinical study using some "food supplement" to leverage neuroplasticity in MS patients.

They saw some fatigue improvement.

One or 2 years ago, I asked him his opinion about taking a TMS treatment for my Parkinson and he told me that alternative currents would be better.

As I couldn't find any Center practicing this approach where I lived I abandoned, and I must say I forgot it.

But this is extraordinary news because it is one of those technologies with no known side effects so far (!), while representing a new therapeutic approach.

Looking forward to their results!.

Im just reporting the facts, no promises! But we'll try anything if it's safe and there's a chance, right?

Hi bassofspades. I suffered insomnia for many years requiring medication to sleep until last year when I found a device called Alpha Stim. It works by applying earclips in your ear lobes passing very light electric impulses that creates alpha brainwaves that makes you sleep and also work for anxiety and depression. Alpha Stim worked for me amazingly to treat my insomnia and in just 2 weeks I was able to sleep without any medication at all.

You can find it here: alpha-stim.com/

Hope it helps

[bassofspades in reply to RTT1961]

That's great! Thanks for sharing. Any comments on its potential to ease pd symptoms?

[Despe in reply to RTT1961]

Is it effective for depression/apathy? Thank you!

[RTT1961 in reply to Despe]

Hi Despe... Personally I haven´t used it for anxiety or depressión, only for insomnia, but I understsand that its success rate on both conditions are above 85%. They have literally dozens of medical studies that back them that you can fin here: alpha-stim.com/research-and...

Something very important to mention is that I don´t have any particular interest to promote this device, I´m just sharing the research I did before I purchased it and if it works for anxiety and depresssion as good as it did for my insomnia, I think it would be great. It is not cheap but for me it was well worth it.

[Despe in reply to RTT1961]

Thanks! I look into it further.

[RTT1961]

HI again. I haven´t find any changes in my PD symptoms but this is probably due that they are light so to speak and i´m able to cope with them without any medication yet. Probably a PWP with medication might see differences that IP¨m not detecting so far.
