6Cognitive training neuro-biofeedback approach in which we display cerebral cortical blood flow with the help of a near infrared beam on a monitor. The patient sees the trace, follows the trace on the monitor and eventually learns to move the trace upward. This then corresponds to increased cerebral blood flow in the area of interest. We give two sessions a week. More sessions can give an added advantage and will then be considered. We suggest an initial series of ten treatments, and then reevaluate the patient and decide whether another series of treatment is indicated.
We have seen success with this treatment: Patients have improved cognitive function. Also, before and after SPECT brain scans show improvement of blood flow.Modified:
