The Development and Experience of Combat‐Related PTSD: A Demand for Neurofeedback as an Effective Form of Treatment
Veterans experience a considerable course of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and because of several psychosocial issues, traditional interventions and traditional intervention settings are ineffective for this population. A new cutting‐edge approach, known as neurofeedback, trains clients to control and manipulate their central nervous system and ameliorate physiological symptoms of stress disorders. The authors delineate how neurofeedback can be an effective and innovative intervention for PTSD experienced by the military population.

To date there have been seven studies which find that beta EEG is elevated at around sleep onset and during polysomnographic sleep in patients with insomnia.

In this article, the seven studies are critically reviewed, two theoretical perspectives on beta EEG are presented, and the concept of hyperarousal as a three component process is discussed.

A pilot investigation was conducted to determine the effect of left hemisphere EEG frequency control training (shifting from 8-13 Hz to 13-28 Hz activity and back) on boys with a verbal IQ 15 or more points below their performance IQ on the WISC-R. The findings suggested that specific effects may be elicited by specific training; i.e., verbal abilities increase and the verbal performance discrepancy narrows.
