Rapid recovery from PTSD

In the latest eeginfo.com newsletter, Siegfried Othmer presented a case history of a successful outcome for a Vietnam veteran using neurofeedback. He wrote, “We have just experienced a remarkably quick recovery from PTSD symptoms in a Vietnam veteran. The case is illustrative of the more rapid pace of recovery that is achievable with the latest neurofeedback techniques that encompass the infra-low range of EEG frequencies. The veteran has had a 40-year history of PTSD and was rescued from homelessness by the Salvation Army here in Los Angeles. He came to our offices for intensive neurofeedback training through the auspices of the Salvation Army. In exchange for our providing services at no cost, the veteran has allowed us to make his case history available for the benefit of other clinicians.

After 18 sessions, the veteran reported more than an 80% reduction in overall symptoms and 93% reduction in PTSD symptoms. Even more significantly, nightmares, flashbacks, suicidal thoughts, and binging and purging were all eliminated within three sessions.
