Neurofeedback therapy, also known as neurotherapy, is a type of therapy that uses technology to help people improve their neurological functions. The goal of neurofeedback therapy is to help people increase the efficiency of their nervous system, which can help improve their functions in areas such as attention, memory, and motor skills. With neurofeedback therapy, a qualified medical professional uses a series of computerized brain games to help a patient improve the function of their brain, which results in improved neurological functions.

Yes, neurofeedback is very effective for treating mind health disorders. By training the brain to make new neural connections, mind health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder, can be improved.

According to published scientific studies, the success rate for neurofeedback for various disorders is 75 to 80 percent. In order to correctly state effectiveness rates, more neurofeedback research is required. Neurofeedback has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of neurological and mind health conditions including ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), chronic pain, autism, epilepsy, depression, and anxiety.
 
In general, the success rate for neurofeedback depends on the type of problem being treated, its chronicity, severity, and the length of time for which it is needed. For example, people who suffer from migraine headaches often report that their frequency and severity of attacks is significantly reduced with neurofeedback. In cases of chronic pain, some patients have reported reduced or eliminated need for medication after successful treatment with neurofeedback.
 
Neurofeedback has also produced successful results when treating substance use disorders problems such as alcoholism. Studies have shown that alcoholics who receive neurofeedback experience decreased blood flow to certain areas of the brain that normally respond to alcohol consumption, which indicates that neurofeedback may be an effective tool in reducing cravings for alcohol and other types of addiction.

Because neurofeedback works to train the brain to make more effective connections and create positive changes, the results are long-lasting. Completing neurofeedback is like any other skill; once it is learned, it needs constant practice in order to be maintained. Much like learning a second language, it needs to be practiced in order to stay active in the brain.

The brain is a habit machine; active participation and changes in our behavior and lifestyle are vital to maintain the positive effects in the nervous system achieved through neurofeedback. Neurofeedback therapy specialists often provide tools for their patients to practice at home, as well as educational documents to reinforce the work being done in sessions. In conclusion, these processes are meant to last, but require active participation.
