Their advice can account for your seizure type, treatment and safety plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What researchers have explored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EEG neurofeedback uses sensors to measure electrical activity at the scalp and offers feedback during a training exercise. Early studies have explored whether practice could influence patterns associated with seizures. Those findings do not establish a reliable result for an individual or a reason to alter treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your seizure plan in place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk with your neurologist before starting a complementary program or changing any medication, monitoring or activity guidance. Follow the seizure action plan and any existing driving guidance. A program\u2019s claims are a good topic to discuss at your next appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask about the outcome that matters to you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out whether a program claims to affect seizure frequency, stress, attention or something else. Ask how that outcome was measured in research, what risks apply to you, and how the neurologist would track any meaningful change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more detail, see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epilepsy.com\/treatment\/medicines\">the Epilepsy Foundation\u2019s guide to seizure treatment<\/a>.
