HEG is a safe, noninvasive, biofeedback technique that works by increasing the brain’s ability to prevent the activity that results in migraine pain. It is effective for both “classical” migraines and for post-traumatic headaches such as those after motor vehicle collisions.

In a study of 100 people, 94% experienced significant improvement in either the severity and/or the frequency of headaches after 6 sessions.

In my own practice, this number holds and most people are able to either discontinue using medications or go from using them weekly or more often to using them every few months.

Just wanting to share another alternative with no side-effects — unless you count it’s “side-benefits” of improving the brain’s “executive functions” (i.e., planning, organization, attention…). I do have an article on my blog that tells more about it and shows infrared images of the brain before and after training, for those that might be interested, if I may post the link:

Thanks for sharing more options!
