Micro Current Neurofeedback

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Need Relaxation?

A new study recently recently published by The Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (JAANP) highlights the transformative potential of this technology! The study, titled "The effectiveness of microcurrent neurofeedback on depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and quality of life", was published September 8, 2023.

Highlights from the study include:

Anxiety & Depression: Significant reductions were observed by the 10th session.
Quality of Life: Marked improvement was reported, confirming the holistic impact of our intervention.
PTSD: Notable differences were seen after both 10 and 20 treatments.

This research is more than just data—it’s a testament to the power and promise of IASIS MCN to make a profound difference in the lives of countless individuals.

********************************************

IASIS micro current neurofeedback (IASIS MCN) is the first neurofeedback device with image-based evidence of success (click here to download the pilot study for mild truamatic brain injury). The IASIS MCN device is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use consistent with 21 C.F.R. section 882.5050. The ease and simplicity of treatment all distinguish it from a traditional neurofeedback device. IASIS MCN is imperceptible, non-invasive, and effortless for the client. There is no medication involved in this gentle but effective treatment.

IASIS MCN is extremely safe. IASIS MCN employs a small, lightweight and portable FDA registered EEG amplifier that transmits signals that are about 1/300th of a cell phone and can last for as little as 1/100th of a second. With over 100,000 clients experiencing IASIS MCN, there have been no reports of undesirable effects. IASIS MCN is safe for children, adolescents, and adults.

IASIS MCN has been reported by clients as helpful with the following:

Relaxation, Insomnia and Sleep Disturbances, Memory Challenges, Memory Disorders, Learning Disorders, Headaches, Migraines, Psychological Disorders, PTSD & Trauma Symptoms, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), ADD/ADHD, Autism, Emotional Regulation, Derealization, Anxiety, Up-Regulated Nervous System, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Depression, Epilepsy, Stress Management, Fibromyalgia, Peak Performance, Mental Focus and Clarity

Our experience with IASIS MCN is significant: Over 85% of clients who respond to treatment are, by their own assessment, very meaningfully helped. For example, more than 85% of mild/moderate TBI sufferers report a positive response. The same is true for anxiety and PTSD. These changes are generally enduring.

Clients often report feeling a shift during the first to third session, and changes are often reported by friends and family as sessions progress. Initial changes are temporary, but last longer with each un-training session. While some clients require maintenance sessions, many experience enduring benefits. We believe this to be the result of the brain regaining a healthier homeostasis and a natural resistance to returning to a dysfunctional state.

IASIS MCN is a very potent clinical modality capable of helping a tremendous number of people. It is important to note that IASIS MCN is not intended for home use and is only to be administered to clients by trained doctors and clinicians. All of our IASIS MCN clinicians are trained and certified in accordance with the requirements of IASIS.

What is IASIS MCN and how does it work?

A wide range of conditions can cause the brain to become “frozen” in dysfunctional patterns that lead to dys-regulation. IASIS MCN is brief micro-stimulation to the brain that results in a temporary fluctuation in brainwaves, allowing 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.

What can I expect?

IASIS MCN is safe and gentle. While seated, five lightweight EEG electrodes will be placed at different areas on your head and neck. The areas will first be cleaned off and a conductive paste applied to hold the electrodes in place. The positiion of electrodes may vary through the course of treatment and in subsequent sessions. IASIS Neurofeedback causes brief microcurrent stimulation (3 Pico or 3 trillionths of a watt) to the nervous system that can last for as little as 1/100th of a second. The minimum range of essions is typically 10-20 but can vary based on the client and related goals. Contact us today for more information.

FAQ about Micro Current Neurofeedback

While seated, five lightweight EEG electrodes will be placed at different areas on your head and neck. The areas will first be cleaned off and then a conductive paste will be applied to hold the electrodes in place. The position of the electrodes may vary through the course of treatment and in subsequent sessions.

The entire session from start to finish will be around 30 minutes (the initial session is 45-60 minutes. There are 5 protocol settings and numerous different sensitivity levels that may be selected, depending on the feedback that is given to the Iasis Certified Provider prior to the session, as well as how one responds during or after the session, at which time adjustments may be made.

Some people report a deeper sense of calm and peacefulness, and an overall sense of wellbeing. We are always happy to discuss any additional questions you have about what you can expect.

Your feedback 24 hours after every session by email called the ‘Observation Sheet’ is mandatory and helps us fine tune your next session. Like anything in life, it is a process. Try to be patient with the journey.

As you improve and the benefits of your sessions lasts longer, we will increase the time between sessions, until you no longer need sessions. Initially one may have 1-5 sessions per week. Your ICP will suggest a course of corresponding exercises to assist in mental flexibility. The total number of sessions will vary from person to person but a typical range would be 10 to 20 treatments, with recommendations for more based on your provider’s determination. Some people will notice changes in between 1-3 sessions while others may require more treatments before they notice a change.
