Brain fog is a cluster of cognitive symptoms, not a diagnosis, most often caused by poor sleep, stress, hormone changes, nutrient deficiencies, medications, inflammation or infections such as long COVID. It usually eases once history and blood work find the cause and that cause is treated.
Neurofeedback trains the brain with real-time EEG feedback. Fz placement puts the sensor on the frontal midline of the 10-20 system, 30% of the way from the bridge of the nose to the back of the skull, mainly for frontal midline theta training.
TMS therapy sends focused magnetic pulses through the scalp to activate underactive mood circuits. It is FDA-cleared for depression, OCD, smoking cessation and migraine, and 50 to 60 percent of people with medication-resistant depression respond.
Migraine is a neurological disease with attacks lasting 4 to 72 hours. This guide covers its types, triggers, acute and preventive treatments, and how to build a personal management plan.
ECT works faster and more often in the most severe depression, while TMS needs no anesthesia and does not cause memory loss. A 2014 meta-analysis found 64.4% response with ECT versus 48.7% with rTMS, with the gap concentrated in psychotic depression.
Neurofeedback trains your brain to shift out of anxiety-promoting patterns using real-time EEG feedback. Learn about alpha/theta and SMR protocols, RCT evidence, comparison to medications and CBT, session requirements, and costs.
Nerve pain treatment ranges from gabapentin and duloxetine to regenerative options like PRP, LLLT, neurofeedback, and ketamine, each with different evidence.
The vagus nerve is connected to autoimmune disease through the inflammatory reflex, which signals immune cells in the spleen to make less TNF. Low vagal tone is reported in RA, IBD, lupus and MS, and the FDA approved an implanted vagus nerve stimulator for rheumatoid arthritis in July 2025.
Your heart races when you stand up. Your digestion has stopped working. You cannot sleep. Your body feels like it is running from danger every second. This is not anxiety. This is nervous system dysregulation, and understanding it is the first step toward recovery.
