Abstract
Among the many types of potential therapies used for the treatment of chronic pain, neurofeedback (NFB) has been progressively more popular based on its increasing effectiveness and favorable safety profile. Especially, Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) NFB, which is able to promote self-regulation of areas specifically involved in pain control, has become the focus of investigations of a growing number of scientists. Z-score LORETA NFB has been found to be an effective and promising form of neuromodulation, able to ameliorate many neuropsychiatric symptoms. Introduction of QEEG/LORETA brain imaging has improved our diagnostic ability by identifying dysregulated cortical areas implicated in patient’s symptoms. Additional use of LORETA Z-score NFB enables us to directly target these areas of dysregulation in order to improve associated symptoms. The ability to identify the dysregulated structures of the brain participating in pain regulation by LORETA imaging has made it possible to design targeted NFB therapy. In this chapter, several selected cases of chronic pain and headaches are described with effective delivery of targeted LORETA neurotherapy.
