If you think you are suffering from memory loss and you want to get help, a memory loss test is the first step in the right direction. It can be a scary experience to lose memories, but it is a very common problem and there are many treatments that can help.
Memory loss may come as a subtle reduction over time or be associated with the anesthesia or lack of oxygen during a surgical procedure, traumatic brain injury including stroke, post chemotherapeutic drugs, or as a result of some illness or disease process. Regardless of the cause neurofeedback therapy has been shown to be extremely effective in improving memory.
A physical exam is done to check sensory function, reflexes, nervous system and brain health. MRI, CT scans, or electroencephalogram imaging tests may be ordered as well, to look for brain damage or abnormalities. Cognitive tests are often conducted, which allows a doctor to evaluate the patient’s judgment, thought patterns, short and long-term memory. A memory loss test can provide insight into the extent and cause of memory loss. They also help your doctor to determine the appropriate course of treatment for your memory loss.
The brain is an amazing organ and like a lizard’s tail capable of significant regeneration after damage at any age. Neurofeedback training builds new neural connections and re-integration of brain tissue to restore neural pathways and actually build new brain tissue. Neurofeedback Therapy uses a computer to guide dysregulated brainwaves back to an organized pattern. Studies have shown that neurofeedback is effective in managing many neurological conditions and may help stop certain types of memory loss.
I first saw Michael in the fall of 2014. Brought by his fiancee he has fallen from an MTA platform striking his skull on a steel rail suffering severe brain damage. Following removal of skull fragments he had been in a coma for months and now two years later had no short term memory. In other words he had no memory of events after only a few minutes. He had been told by his doctors that he would never change. In Neurofeedback Therapy patients watch a movie of their choosing and change movies regularly. For the first six weeks of twice weekly therapy, Michael brought in the same movie each session because he couldn't remember he had seen it! In week seven and thereafter he began to change the movies as his memory improved. Following eight months of therapy he could remember back three days, hold a normal conversation and take public transportation from Beacon into the city and back unattended!
