Abstract

Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder worldwide despite many anti-seizure medications. Biofeedback (BFB) and neurofeedback (NFB) have shown significant promise since the 1960s to improve seizure control, abnormalities in electroencephalography (EEG) and quantitative-EEG, and quality of life. Epilepsy is a disease of brain networks and BFB/NFB is a non-invasive, brain-centered, low-risk, low-cost, and reliable treatment for people with seizures/epilepsy and especially since standard seizure medications and epilepsy surgery often do not result in complete seizure control. Neuroscience healthcare clinician experience and a 60-year literature foundation show that BFB/NFB to improve brain dysregulation and abnormal network dynamics are known to be at the root of seizures/epilepsy. BFB/NFB trains individuals to self-regulate brain activity through real-time performance feedback. An exhaustive literature review for NFB/BFB and seizures/epilepsy (1960s–present) yielded 150 articles documenting improvements in seizures and EEG/QEEG abnormalities. Clinicians, insurers, and the public should support BFB/NFB as a first-line intervention for seizures/epilepsy.
生物反馈与健康基于证据的生物反馈和癫痫患者的神经反馈
癫痫是世界上第四大最常见的神经系统疾病,尽管有许多抗癫痫药物。自20世纪60年代以来,生物反馈(BFB)和神经反馈(NFB)在改善癫痫发作控制、脑电图(EEG)和定量脑电图(EEG)异常和生活质量方面表现出了显著的前景。癫痫是一种大脑网络疾病,BFB/NFB是一种非侵入性、以大脑为中心、低风险、低成本和可靠的治疗方法,特别是因为标准的癫痫药物和癫痫手术通常不能完全控制癫痫发作。神经科学保健临床医生的经验和60年的文献基础表明,BFB/NFB改善大脑失调和异常网络动力学是已知的癫痫发作/癫痫的根源。BFB/NFB通过实时表现反馈训练个体自我调节大脑活动。对NFB/BFB和癫痫发作/癫痫(20世纪60年代至今)的文献进行了详尽的回顾,得出150篇文章,记录了癫痫发作和EEG/QEEG异常的改善。临床医生、保险公司和公众应该支持BFB/NFB作为癫痫发作/癫痫的一线干预措施。
