About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "An Interdisciplinary Approach-Biofeedback, Neurofeedback & Alpha-stim” by Melanie Berry, MS, BCB, BCBS, FAIS.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about biofeedback, neurofeedback, and Alpha-Stim, all interdisciplinary approaches that involve the use of technology to enhance human functioning. These approaches combine insights from various fields such as neuroscience, psychology, and medicine to improve the quality of life for individuals with various health conditions.

Biofeedback is a technique that uses sensors to monitor a persons physiological responses, such as heart rate, muscle tension, and skin temperature. This information is then fed back to the person in real-time, allowing them to learn how to control their bodily responses. Biofeedback is often used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, and high blood pressure.

Neurofeedback, on the other hand, involves monitoring a persons brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG) and providing feedback in the form of visual or auditory cues. By training the brain to produce specific patterns of activity, neurofeedback can be used to treat conditions such as ADHD, depression, and traumatic brain injury.

Alpha-Stim is a non-invasive medical device that uses microcurrent electrical therapy to stimulate the brain and promote relaxation. This device has been shown to be effective in treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Overall, these interdisciplinary approaches are becoming increasingly popular in the fields of psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. By combining the latest insights from multiple fields, they offer a more comprehensive approach to treating various health conditions and improving overall human functioning.

Psychosomatics and Psychopathology “Autonomic Imbalance and Decreased Parasympathetic Tone in particular may be the final common pathway linking negative affective states and dispositions, including the indirect effects via poor lifestyles, to numerous diseases and conditions as well as increased mortality, and it may also be implicated in psychopathological conditions”. Thayer & Brosschot, 2005, p. 1053

What is Biofeedback? BASIC: Biofeedback is a technique that enables an individual to learn how to change maladaptive physiological activity and correct dysfunctional Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activity SCIENTIFIC: Biofeedback instruments are used to “feed back” information about physiological processes, assisting the individual to increase awareness of these processes and to gain voluntary control over body and mind. HOLISTIC: Biofeedback is based on the recognition that changes in the mind and emotions affect the body, and changes in the body influence the mind and emotions. RESILIENCE: Biofeedback emphasizes training individuals to self-regulate, gain awareness, increase control over their bodies, brains, and nervous systems, and improve flexibility in physiologic responding.

Interactive Question #7 What do you do with the patient that does not get better despite all your efforts and continues to return to your practice? I tell them there is nothing more I can do for them I tell them to keep trying what we are already doing, give it time I tell them to come back in six months, and hope things have resolved on their own I tell them medicine can’t help, seek a psychologist I would refer them to a complementary/alternative medicine expert 13
