Chemo Brain

Chemo Brain

A common term used by cancer survivors to describe thinking and memory problems that can occur during and after cancer treatment. Chemo brain can also be called chemo fog, cancer-related cognitive impairment or cognitive dysfunction.

LARGEST STUDY TO DATE

Are you easily agitated, feeling tingling sensations in your fingers and toes?
The electrical activity in the brain has been disrupted.  Step 1 get a QEEG quantitative electroencephalogram.  Unlike an EEG, a qeeg is a digitized eeg.

Other possible symptoms of chemo brain:

  • Being unusually disorganized,
  • Confusion
  • Difficulty concentrating, finding the right words, learning new skills and or multitasking
  • Mental fogginess
  • Short-term memory problems
  • Trouble with verbal memory (remembering a conversation) or visual memory (recalling an images and or words).

The results of the QEEG will tell you, if the neurons are firing in syncrony or not.  Subsequently, Infraslow fluctuation neurofeedback will be a very good way to optimise those electrical connectivity.

One hundred percent of the participants completed the program.  After treatment, the neurofeedback group showed significantly greater improvement than controls in their BPI worst-pain item (on a 10-point scale, 2.43 for neurofeedback versus 0.09 for controls).  Similar improvements were also seen in the secondary measures.  https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/study-of-the-efficacy-of-neurofeedback-training-on-chemotherapy-induced-neuropathy-receives-2018-fnan-award-300651321.html
