All of these listed conditions have a common denominator: the brain is "frozen" in a dysfunctional homeostasis that leads to dys-regulation.
IASIS MCN Micro Current Neurofeedback causes brief micro-stimulation to the brain that results in a temporary fluctuation in brainwaves. This temporary change allows the brain to reorganize itself.
Thus IASIS MCN does not train the brain like traditional neurofeedback, but instead "disentrains" the brain by allowing it to reorganize itself and release itself from frozen, stuck patterns. This is analogous to re-booting a frozen computer.
MICROCURRENT NEUROFEEDBACK (MCN) PRODUCES FAST RESULTS IN A LIMITED NUMBER OF SESSIONS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL NEUROFEEDBACK.
Micro Current Neurofeedback is imperceptible to the client, and requires no conscious effort. Experience shows that more than 85% of clients observe a noticeable positive response during the course of their treatment. Although some people find they need more sessions, the average reported changes are generally enduring and sustainable between 10-20 sessions.
Micro Current Neurofeedback is very effective in many areas, including: Anxiety, Depression, Anger, mTBI, PTSD, ADD/ADHD, Migraine, and Insomnia.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS MCN SAFE?
Yes, extremely safe. There has not been a single reported case of someone being worse off from being treated with MCN Micro Current Neurofeedback.
ARE THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
In the first few Micro Current Neurofeedback sessions, a client sometimes experiences temporary fatigue, "light headedness" or a feeling of being "revved up." Mild headaches also occasionally occur. These symptoms are always temporary, and typically last only a few minutes to a few hours.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM MCN?
Micro Current Neurofeedback is very effective in many areas, including but not limited to:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - Micro Current Neurofeedback is exceptionally effective at reducing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other forms anxiety. Ninety percent of clients begin to experience improvement in the first or second session. Micro Current Neurofeedback also improves resilience, the ability to handle stress, and helps create a sense of calm in difficult situations.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - In mild and moderate TBI, clarity, concentration, memory, multi-tasking and energy consistently and rapidly improve.
Depression - Micro Current Neurofeedback often lifts depression-even when it has been resistant to other treatments. Energy and motivation increase, and a client can once again experience a positive sense of health and well being.
ADD/ADHD - Micro Current Neurofeedback decreases impulsivity, distractability and hyperactivity. The world becomes easier to navigate. Life becomes less of a struggle.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED BEFORE NOTICING AN IMPROVEMENT?
Some people notice initial changes within three sessions, others notice after several sessions. The average number of sessions varies depending on the acuity of the condition, so it is difficult to say how many sessions one would need because each person presents with their own, unique set of circumstances. It's best to begin with the understanding that it may take someone 10, or 20 sessions, maybe more, to notice improvement on the areas that they were seeking this type of treatment for. But, once treatment has been completed, additional sessions are not always necessary. Occasionally individuals may require a "booster."
DO I HAVE TO STOP MY MEDICATION TO DO MCN?
No. Medication does not diminish the effectiveness of IASIS MCN. There is no need to stop or reduce your medication, which should only be done in conjunction with your healthcare provider once MCN treatment is complete.
HOW DOES MICRO CURRENT NEUROFEEDBACK WORK?
MCN uses a very low power (3 pico or 3 trillionths of a watt) electromagnetic field to carry feedback to the person receiving it. The feedback travels down the same wires carrying the brain waves to the amplifier and computer.
Although the MCN signal is weak, it produces a measurable change in the brainwaves without conscious effort from the individual receiving the feedback. This feedback frequency correlates with the dominant brainwave frequency. When exposed to this feedback frequency, the EEG amplitude distribution changes in power. The result is a changed brainwave state and much greater ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself.
MCN is a direct feedback, imperceptible to the client, and requiring no conscious effort. Although, like many pharmaceuticals, MCN is not yet completely understood, at the very least the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are profoundly influenced as is the central nervous systems. Brain chemistry is affected in ways that still need to be elucidated.
HOW LONG HAS MCN BEEN AROUND? IS IT EXPERIMENTAL?
Practitioners have used earlier and similar versions of Micro Current Neurofeedback for over 15 years. Micro Current Neurofeedback is not experimental. Over 75,000 patients have been treated with technologies similar in principle to IASIS MCN.
DOES MCN ONLY AFFECT NEGATIVE PATTERNS? WILL IT CHANGE MY POSITIVE QUALITIES?
Only frozen, stuck patterns are affected. Healthy, functional brainwave patterns are flexible and resilient. When there is a tiny fluctuation they automatically spring back to their healthy patterns.
HOW IS MCN DIFFERENT THAN TRADITIONAL NEUROFEEDBACK?
In traditional neurofeedback, information from brainwaves is transmitted to a computer screen. Clients attempt to train their brainwaves by mentally manipulating events on the screen. No signal is transmitted back to the brain. This kind of neurofeedback typically requires 40+ sessions, with a typical session lasting 45 minutes to an hour.
With Micro Current Neurofeedback clients don't do anything other than sit still for a few moments. A brief, tiny signal transmitted feeding back to the brain does all the work. And unlike traditional neurofeedback clients, Micro Current Neurofeedback clients generally notice some type of change within the first few sessions.
