In this Webinar participants will be introduced to the basics of the use of Applied Neurosciences (Biofeedback, Neurofeedback and QEEG) in the diagnosis, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of substance abuse sufferers. Since the early 90’s after the early and pioneering work of Eugene G. Peniston and Paul J. Kulkosky (1989) a big field of clinical, basic and applied research was opened.

Substance abuse is a big health, social and economic problem all over the world and in America. In the 2017 teen drug use survey the NIH found that the 0.8% of the 8th graders uses marijuana over daily bases compared to the 5.9% of the 12th graders. Related to E-vaporizers, they are used by the 27.8% of the 12th graders. And it is of note that teens are more likely to use marijuana than cigarettes in a 5.9% vs. 4.25% relation. Related to prescription drugs the proportions go from 1.35 of Ritalin users to the 5.5% of Adderall, compared to illicit drugs that goes from 0.4% of Heroin to 3.7% of Synthetic Cannabinoids (synthetic marijuana) ending with the alarming 37.1% of the combination of Marijuana/Hashish. All these numbers just in the teen 12th graders population.

In the Applied Neurosciences there had been a significant advancement in the use of the Quantitative Electrophysiological procedures that allow us to apply reliable protocols for the treatment and rehabilitation of drug abuse suffers with some of the main comorbidities like PTSD, chronic anxiety and depression. During the webinar participants will be guided from the basic diagnostic criteria to the complex QEEG treatment procedures after reviewing the original protocols developed for the traditional Neurofeedback treatment of substance abuse and dependence.

In this Webinar participants will be introduced to the Quantitative EEG (QEEG) field analysis. Initiated at the end of the 60’s it has become a powerful, reliable and advanced tool for the analysis of EEG and the base of a prosperous field of applications in both: clinical and research areas. With the great advance in the applications of the computational sciences, QEEG has been provided with a great variety of specific tools designed for research, assessment and treatment for conditions like ADD and ADHD, TBI, Depression, just to mention a few, as well as to empower applications in Health like Peak Performance Training.

In the last 10 years the use of different software approaches for brain wave analysis have been proven not only reliable but with all the scientific characteristics for its use as tools for the reliable use of EEG for a wide variety of applications other than those of Seizure diagnosis and Basic Research in Cognitive Sciences only. Proving that algorithms are powerful means for the EEG analysis in fields that with enormous precision allow clinicians for the precise localizations of Neural Generators with an approximation of 1mm; in order to be used as the base of rehabilitation and treatment protocols.

During this 1.5 hours participants will review some of the basics of EEG analysis to get into the essential structure of Brain Mapping techniques and will be introduced to QEEG analysis software like: LORETA Key, sLORETA, eLORETA, LORETA Connectivity, Neuroguide and Brainstorm and its description as the most powerful instruments in Brain Wave distribution in different Conditions and in Health.

Tension Type Headache and Migraine Biofeedback Treatments

Prof Dr. Jorge J Palacios Venegas

In this webinar participants will be introduced to the most proven Biofeedback protocols for Tension Type Headache and Migraine headache.

Since 1970 Tension Type Headache (TTH) has been one of the conditions in which Biofeedback has been proven as an effective treatment. In fact one of the first Biofeedback protocols formally described was the first of its kind for this purpose. It is well known that if Biofeedback is an effective tool for the treatment of different health conditions because it helps to control or regulate the natural neurophysiological mechanisms underlying or precipitated them. This is the case of TTH that is caused by the abnormal and constant muscular tension of the head, face and neck muscles. Since 1986 when the International Committee for the Classification of Headaches listed TTH as one of the 150 different headache types as a condition with it’s own 11 different subtypes, this Committee recommended as a “must” the use of Surface Electromyography as the appropriate technique for the evaluation and diagnosis of TTH and its 11 different subtypes. This is precisely the basic approach for the Biofeedback treatment of TTH, the EMG Biofeedback of the head, face and neck muscles involved in it. In this Webinar participants will learn the Neurophysiological fundamentals to this treatment and the Psychophysiological, Neurophysiological and Behavioral bases for it, use and prescription as well as its effectiveness.

Being a very different condition, Migraine has been studied many years ago in Internal Medicine, Neurology and Neurosciences. In the 80’s the first Temperature Biofeedback protocol for the treatment of Migraine was published. Mechanisms underlying Migraine are complicated and besides it has its specific changes in the Autonomic Nervous System, the most important precipitants of Migraine crisis are in the Central Nervous System, mainly in certain neurotransmiters groups. But it has been proved that if a Migraine patient is trained to increase the peripheral skin temperature many Migraine crises can be aborted. Modern treatments have been designed for the prevention, abortion and contention of Migraine crisis with remarkable success with achievements that allowed patients to successfully manage their condition. In this webinar participants will learn the basics protocols under the chronic pain management perspective.

Low Cost Biofeedback Tools Webinar

Description
Learn about low cost biofeedback tools for stress management. We will discuss items that can be used at home, work, or in clinic for individuals or groups. These tools allow you to measure changes in skin temperature, muscle tension, skin conductance (sweat), heart rate/heart rate variability, and respiration.

This webinar is for anyone with an interest in stress management. You don’t have to be a licensed healthcare professional to use these tools although some healthcare professionals use them in their clinic for groups for to recommend for home use for their clients. These are tools that you can use to practice stress reduction and relaxation on your own. You can use them in combination with relaxation exercises like diaphragmatic breathing, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation.
