At Beyond Limits Neurofeedback, we stay up-to-date with the latest research on neurofeedback therapy. Explore the studies below to learn more about how neurofeedback can help improve various brain-based disorders.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Recent research has shown that autistic disorders are based on disturbances of neural connectivity. Neurofeedback seems capable of remediating such disturbances when these data are considered part of treatment planning.
The prognosis of this pervasive disorder depends on intellectual abilities: the better the intellectual functioning, the higher the possibilities for life adaptation. Q-EEG shows generally increased delta-theta activity in the frontal region of the brain, which is related to poor cognitive abilities. Brain rate measured in CZ shows slow brain activity related to under arousal. Pharmacotherapy, behavior therapy, social support, and especially neurofeedback techniques promise slight improvements.
Anxiety and Depression
In evaluating the studies in the overall broad area of the neurofeedback treatment of anxiety disorders, EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) qualifies for the evidence-based designation of being an efficacious treatment.
EEG biofeedback is an exciting, cutting-edge technology that offers an additional treatment alternative for modifying dysfunctional, biologic brain patterns that are associated with various psychiatric conditions.
Migraines
Traditional peripheral biofeedback has grade A evidence for effectively treating migraines. Two newer forms of neurofeedback, EEG biofeedback, and hemoencephalography biofeedback were combined with thermal hand warming biofeedback to treat 37 migraineurs in a clinical outpatient setting.
37 migraine patients underwent an average of 40 neurofeedback sessions combined with thermal biofeedback in an outpatient biofeedback clinic. All patients were on at least one type of medication for migraine: preventive, abortive, or rescue. Patients kept daily headache diaries a minimum of two weeks before treatment and throughout treatment, showing symptom frequency, severity, duration, and medications used. Treatments were conducted an average of three times weekly over an average span of 6 months. After an average of 14.5 months following treatment, a formal interview was conducted to ascertain the duration of treatment effects.
A single-blind study using Z-score analysis showed that following neurofeedback, 'all participants were normal sleepers.'
This study, first published in Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, demonstrates the potential of neurofeedback in treating insomnia and improving sleep quality.
For many other studies, the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research maintains a comprehensive bibliography of research articles discussing conditions that are positively affected by neurofeedback. This resource is compiled by D. Corydon Hammond, Ph.D., Professor of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about neurofeedback therapy and our services at Beyond Limits Neurofeedback.
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach self-regulation of brain function. It's a non-invasive method that can help improve various cognitive and behavioral issues by training the brain to function more efficiently.
How does neurofeedback work?
During a neurofeedback session, sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brain activity. This activity is then displayed on a screen, often in the form of a video game or movie. The brain is rewarded for changing its activity to more appropriate patterns, which, over time, can result in improved brain regulation and function.
What conditions can neurofeedback help with?
Neurofeedback has shown potential benefits for a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, sleep disorders, migraines, and cognitive decline. It can also be used to enhance performance in areas such as focus, memory, and stress management.
Is neurofeedback safe?
Yes, neurofeedback is considered very safe. It's non-invasive and doesn't involve any drugs. The process simply involves measuring brain activity and providing feedback. However, as with any treatment, it's important to work with qualified professionals.
How many sessions of neurofeedback are typically needed?
The number of sessions can vary depending on the individual and the condition being addressed. Typically, a course of treatment might involve 20-40 sessions, but some people may see improvements in fewer sessions, while others might benefit from more. We customize the treatment plan based on each individual's needs and progress.
How long does each neurofeedback session last?
A typical neurofeedback session lasts about 30-45 minutes, including setup time. The actual training time is usually around 20-30 minutes.
Are the effects of neurofeedback permanent?
The goal of neurofeedback is to create lasting changes in brain function. Many people report long-term benefits from neurofeedback training. However, like any skill, occasional 'tune-up' sessions may be beneficial for some individuals to maintain optimal brain function.
Is neurofeedback covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for neurofeedback varies. Some insurance plans may cover it, especially if it's being used to treat a diagnosed condition. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage. Our team can also assist you in understanding potential costs and payment options.
How is Beyond Limits Neurofeedback different from other providers?
At Beyond Limits Neurofeedback, we take a holistic approach to brain health. We combine state-of-the-art neurofeedback technology with nutritional support and lifestyle recommendations.

This has been an amazing experience. Going into it, I was a bit skeptical, but what Doc & Juanita are doing here is nothing short of miraculous. My son has ADHD, and after his ten sessions, he's able to focus, listen, and is overall more calm. More importantly, he's no longer on his medication and he's back to being my perfect little boy. God is so good, and I'm so grateful for Beyond Limits Neurofeedback!!!

First, these two are salt of the earth! Can't say enough good about them and this practice! They are extremely intelligent and truly care about their patients. Neurofeedback has helped me navigate extremely difficult circumstances in my personal & family life with much greater resilience. My sessions have dramatically improved my ability to 'roll with the punches' and the results are invaluable!

Beyond limits neurofeedback treatment has been a huge answer to prayer for me in this season of my life. I was dealing with mold illness along with other issues and trauma. I couldn't drive a car or do regular tasks (bed bound 80-90% of the day for about a year). I had done other treatment throughout this journey, but the treatment and care I have received from Dr. Lagree and Juanita has been a miracle, as I have now been able to do things like making meals again for my family, walking the dog, running errands, and driving a car after just 3 months of treatment.

Neurofeedback with Dr LaGree and Juanita is one of the best investments I have made in my health and wellbeing. So many of the indicators I came in for have been helped: brain fog; executive functioning; my ability to handle stress and recover from it increased; even my jumbled speech patterns improved! It's truly like going in and getting a brain hug and a quick 20 minutes or so of pure peace and bliss. Ahh, the wonderful sleep you will start experiencing is worth it alone! Don't second guess, go and meet with them and then decide for yourself.

They were easy to reach out to and very communicative throughout the process in terms of being available. We haven't reached our desired outcome yet for various reasons, but I have been very pleased with this team. They have gone above and beyond for us.

I came to see Dr LaGree in very bad shape suffering from major depression, anxiety and digestive issues. I was at the point of no return after seeing many doctors and specialists from all medical institutions with not even a hint of relief. After a deep conversation and going into great detail with dr we came up with a plan between natural supplements and neurofeedback to get back a healthy me. He got to the root cause of the problem instead of just band-aiding it with meds like most drs do. With the help of his lovely wife and assistant they have totally change my life physically, emotionally and mentally.

Dr. LaGree and Juanita are extremely friendly and have great bedside manner. They seem to truly care about making their patients better and to find the real root cause of problems instead of just treating symptoms. Their care and advice have been a great addition to the care being provided by my other medical specialists. They believe strongly in the healing power of God and of supporting the healing capabilities of your own body.

My 11 year old son couldn't take medication for ADD anymore. Since his treatment I have witnessed improvements with his safety awareness and concentration. His ability to remember tasks, instead of needing them repeated several times has greatly improved. He has much better concentration and doesn't need to be redirected as much. Dr.

My daughter is doing SO much better, at school and at home since her Neurofeedback (or 'brain hugs' as she calls them)! She's able to focus more, is calmer and has much less anxiety. I cannot recommend them enough! The changes I've seen in my daughter are nothing short of miraculous! THANK YOU Beyond Limits!!

Beyond Limits has been a game changing life saver for me. I have a history of cPTSD which I have previously done extensive EMDR for. I also have been going through an extremely tough time in life; my boyfriend and I lost everything 2 years ago and have had a tough time with our relationship as well as rebuilding. When I came to BL I was a train wreck. EMDR was life changing for me but I wasn't ready for the new hell I was going through.

When I first came to Beyond Limits I was suffering from severe anxiety and panic attacks. I was living a very limited frustrated life. Dr. LaGree put in place my personalized natural health plan, which included neurofeedback, natural supplements, nutrition and lots of good advice. Even though, I am still in the process of healing my body and mind, today, few months later, my review day, I left Dr.

I found the protocols that Dr. Lagree prescribed to be incredibly helpful, most notably, repairing my gut and the Neurofeedback, which got me to a baseline where I was then able to start doing some of the work that I needed to do to in order to change the negative thought patterns that I had for many years. This is by no means an easy road, but the tools that Beyond Limits has at their disposal makes it much easier to gain some real perspective in terms of the changes you need to make to your own lifestyle. I highly recommend their services!

Juanita and Dr. LaGree made my experience amazing every single time! They were so welcoming and personable and made me feel so at home. They did an amazing job of informing me on the science of neurofeedback and were so helpful during my experience. I would recommend this to anyone.

At the suggestion of a therapist, I decided to try Neurofeedback for better mind health and the results have been mind-blowing (pun unintended). Neurobiofeedback has resulted in clearer thinking and less anxiety. And they don't just treat the brain in our heads. They treat the 2nd brain in our guts. Beyond limits has a wholistic approach heath and It's really a blessing to discover a facility about healing the whole person.

My daughter experienced great results with the Neurofeedback treatment she had from Dr LaGree, after struggling with ADHD and trying conventional medication treatments without success. I would highly recommend the Beyond Limits program.

Hi! My name is Tracy, and I just wanted to share with you from my heart how my life has been changing as a result of my Neurofeedback Sessions. I will start by sharing the topic of stress, which by the way is the #1 killer in America. As a result of owning my own business, I experience a lot of stress. Before starting the Neurofeedback, when I became stressed I would automatically react to the situation in a very negative way and usually have a complete melt-down.

Life with my husband was rough! He was mad all the time, angry, couldn't talk to him.... couldn't do anything, and all he wanted to do was to scream and shout!! But since we've been doing the neurofeedback... what a different man!
