Cognitive Problems Treatment by Cincinnati Functional Neurology
At Cincinnati Functional Neurology, we understand the profound impact that cognitive problems can have on your daily life. Cognitive issues, such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired decision-making, can stem from various causes, including traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and chronic stress. Our comprehensive and personalized approach aims to address these problems by targeting the underlying neurological dysfunctions and promoting brain health through cutting-edge, non-invasive therapies.
Our Approach
Our approach to treating cognitive problems is rooted in functional neurology, which emphasizes the assessment and rehabilitation of the brain’s functional capabilities. We begin with an in-depth evaluation to identify the specific areas of the brain that are affected. This includes a thorough medical history review, neurological examinations, and advanced diagnostic tools such as quantitative EEG (qEEG) and computerized cognitive testing. These assessments help us understand your unique neurological profile and tailor a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Customized Treatment Plans
Each treatment plan at Cincinnati Functional Neurology is customized to the individual. We utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities designed to stimulate neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Our goal is to enhance cognitive function and improve overall brain health through targeted interventions. Key components of our treatment plans include:
Neurofeedback Therapy: Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that trains the brain to self-regulate its activity. By providing real-time feedback on brainwave patterns, patients learn to optimize their brain function, leading to improvements in attention, memory, and executive functions.
Cognitive Rehabilitation: This involves specific exercises and activities designed to improve cognitive abilities. We use computer-based training programs that challenge memory, processing speed, and problem-solving skills. These exercises are tailored to target the areas of cognitive weakness identified during the initial assessment.
Vestibular and Balance Therapy: Since balance and spatial orientation are closely linked with cognitive functions, our vestibular therapy aims to improve these aspects through exercises that enhance brain-body coordination. This can have a positive impact on overall cognitive performance.
Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications: Nutrition plays a critical role in brain health. We provide personalized dietary recommendations that support cognitive function, including advice on supplements that may enhance brain performance. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as stress management techniques and physical exercise are integral to our holistic approach.
Brain Stimulation Therapies: Techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are used to activate specific brain regions. These therapies can help improve neural communication and cognitive function, especially in cases of traumatic brain injury or stroke.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Cognitive rehabilitation is an ongoing process, and at Cincinnati Functional Neurology, we offer continuous support and monitoring to track your progress. Regular follow-up appointments and reassessments ensure that your treatment plan is effective and can be adjusted as needed.
