Biofeedback therapy uses real-time sensor readings of muscle tension, skin temperature, heart rate variability, breathing and brainwaves to teach you to regulate them. Its strongest evidence is for tension-type headache and migraine, with moderate support for chronic back pain and anxiety.
Low dose naltrexone (LDN) at 1.5-4.5mg is used off-label for autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and neuroinflammation. This evidence-based guide covers how LDN works, conditions it treats, dosing protocols, side effects, and how to get a prescription.
At a Glance Multiple clinical trials (including from Stanford University) show LDN can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms by approximately 30 percent. LDN works through a different mechanism than standard fibromyalgia drugs, it modulates glial cell activation and reduces neuroinflammation. Typical dosing starts at 0.5 mg and titrates up to 4.5 mg at bedtime over several weeks….
At a Glance Emerging clinical evidence suggests LDN can reduce thyroid antibodies (TPO and TgAb) in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. LDN works through immune modulation, not immunosuppression, it rebalances the immune response rather than shutting it down. Typical dosing follows the standard LDN protocol: start at 0.5 mg, titrate to 4.5 mg at bedtime. Antibody changes typically…
