Vagus Counseling utilizes BrainPaint®

BrainPaint® is a specialized neurofeedback system that has been studied primarily for its applications in treating conditions such as PTSD, ADHD, addiction, and other psychological disorders. Below are highlights from some of the studies and findings related to BrainPaint:

1. PTSD and Trauma Treatment: BrainPaint® utilizes the alpha-theta neurofeedback protocol, which is designed to help clients access a calm state to process trauma. A study reported that 89% of participants with PTSD experienced symptom improvement after 20 sessions. The system facilitates emotional processing in a safe and controlled manner.

   Vagus Counseling also uses other leading trauma therapies and does not recommend neurofeedback as a standalone treatment for PTSD.

2. Addiction: Research incorporating BrainPaint® has shown efficacy in addiction recovery, especially when combined with traditional methods like 12-step programs. The Scott-Peniston protocols used in BrainPaint® have demonstrated improved sobriety rates in multiple studies, including a 79% abstinence rate at 12 months in a UCLA trial​ BrainPaint

3. ADHD and Spectrum Disorders: BrainPaint® neurofeedback has also been applied to improve attention, executive functioning, and other cognitive skills in individuals with ADHD. The approach is highly individualized.

   Comparatively, neurofeedback has a 75% efficacy rate at 20 sessions, is less invasive and but may require more sessions and consistent commitment over time.

   Important notations:

   While BrainPaint® is associated with quantitative studies, the broader field of neurofeedback still faces challenges regarding standardization and conclusive large-scale validation.
