Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is the common name for a significantly debilitating medical condition characterized by persistent fatigue and other specific symptoms that last for a minimum of six months and is not due to exertion and not significantly relieved by rest.
Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) include malaise after exertion, sleep that does not leave you rested, widespread muscle and joint pain, sore throat, headaches, cognitive difficulties, chronic and severe mental and physical exhaustion in a previously healthy and active person.
Neurofeedback:
Individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have brain waves that are unusually low in voltage and slow in frequency. This low, slow pattern is seen throughout the brain, but especially in the frontal lobes. The frequency showing the brain’s good energy is especially low in voltage. There is an unusually large quantity of very slow delta brain wave activity of less than 4 cycles per second.
This pattern is readily detected in a brain wave evaluation and Neurofeedback training focuses on reducing slow waves which encourages faster, high voltage activity.
