LENS Neurofeedback
What is the LENS?
The LENS is a system that utilizes advanced technology software to track brainwaves in real time, and uses this information to help the brain reset it’s neural-connectivity. The LENS has been used by practitioners since 1992. There are over 500 practitioners world-wide who have treated more than 75,000 patients.
How does the LENS work?
The LENS works by disrupting the maladaptive patterns, or looping mechanisms, that the brain has acquired in response to acute conditions such as birth trauma, concussion resulting from a sports accident, addiction, anoxic event, etc. The LENS encourages the brain to release these inhibitive patterns, and adapt a higher functioning neural circuitry.
How Safe Is LENS?
LENS is extremely safe. In over 75,000 clients treated with LENS, there has not been a single reported case of enduring negative effects. “LENS is an FDA-certified Class II device. It is 510K exempt. The Class II 510K exempt medical device classification is a less restrictive certification than a 510-K, meaning that LENS is considered by the FDA as safer than the 510-K devices–which includes most other biofeedback and neurofeedback devices.”
Who can benefit from the LENS?
The LENS can be used with patients who suffer from concussive injuries, TBI (traumatic brain injury), pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, Addiction, PTSD, OCD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Stroke, Asperger’s, explosiveness, lack of motivation, ADD/ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, MS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, lack of motivation, seizures, headaches, migraines, substance abuse/addiction, Cerebral Palsy, PDD, etc.
Are there any side-effects?
On occasion, some patients experience very transient (lasting only a few hours) side-effects such as feeling wired, tired, spacey, or have a mild headache. I consider these side-effects as a positive response, as an indication that the patient’s brain is interacting with the LENS. This is usually a good prognostic indicator.
