The OCD person requires considerable attention and emotional support. As a result, family members are affected as a group. Everyone is locked into a loop a unending loop of support. Treating OCD by teaching the brain to remediate inappropriate and dysfunctional brain wave patterning with Remedial Neurofeedback Training is new. However, the principles are firmly in place, having shown clinical effectiveness with many other neurological problems.
Early experience is very encouraging.
A young boy treated with Remedial Neurofeedback Training is now symptom-free, and has been for several months. It is not yet known whether the results are permanent, or if others with OCD will achieve a similar outcome.
