The effectiveness of neurofeedback therapy for the patients with Parkinson’s Disease has been demonstrated in numerous researchers. The results suggest that NFT can improve static and dynamic balance in PD patients. (Azarpaikan, Torbati, & Sohrabi, 2014). Patients who received neurofeedback therapy were able to increase activity in brain networks important for movements. Also, neurofeedback resulted in an overall improvement in motor speed.
Researchers claim very promising effects of Neurofeedback training for patients with PD. It is not a cure and it will not stop the progression of disease. However Neurofeedback does have a potential to reduce the symptoms of PD especially in early stages. Neurofeedback can improve static and dynamic balance significantly. It also may offer the possibility to reduce dependence on medications and improve quality of life.
