How Neurofeedback May Help Brain Fog After Covid
Many individuals recovering from COVID-19 continue to experience a frustrating and lingering symptom: brain fog. This condition, often described as mental fatigue, forgetfulness, and reduced focus, can severely impact your ability to function at work, school, and in everyday life. Fortunately, there’s a promising, non-invasive option that’s helping many people find relief—neurofeedback therapy.
At Elevation Health Center, we specialize in restoring optimal brain function through personalized neurofeedback sessions, designed to help patients overcome post-COVID cognitive issues and regain control of their mental clarity.
What Is Brain Fog?
Brain fog isn’t a medical diagnosis, but rather a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect your ability to think clearly. These may include:
-
Trouble focusing
-
Memory lapses
-
Slow thinking
-
Difficulty finding words
-
Mental fatigue
-
Irritability and mood swings
After a viral illness like COVID-19, these symptoms can linger for weeks or even months—a condition now referred to as part of the “long COVID” or “post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC).”
What Causes Brain Fog After COVID?
Though the exact cause is still being studied, researchers believe post-COVID brain fog may result from:
-
Inflammation in the brain
-
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier
-
Reduced oxygen flow during illness
-
Heightened stress and anxiety
-
Changes to neural pathways
These neurological disruptions can create abnormal brainwave patterns, particularly in areas responsible for focus, memory, and executive function.
How Neurofeedback Can Help
Neurofeedback therapy is a cutting-edge, drug-free approach to brain optimization. Also known as EEG biofeedback, this therapy trains your brain to regulate itself more efficiently by correcting abnormal brainwave patterns.
At Elevation Health Center, our neurofeedback process includes:
-
Comprehensive Brain Mapping (qEEG)
We begin by conducting a quantitative EEG (qEEG), also known as a brain map, to assess your current brainwave activity. This non-invasive test identifies areas of dysregulation that may be contributing to symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue. -
Custom Neurofeedback Protocols
Using the data from your brain map, we develop a customized training program. During each session, sensors are placed on your scalp to monitor brain activity in real time. You’ll play a simple video game or watch a movie that responds to your brainwaves—rewarding healthy patterns and discouraging unhealthy ones. -
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments
As your brain begins to regulate more efficiently, symptoms of brain fog often diminish. Sessions are adjusted as needed based on your progress and any changes in symptoms.
Benefits of Neurofeedback for Brain Fog After Covid
Patients who have used neurofeedback therapy after COVID report improvements such as:
-
Increased mental clarity and sharpness
-
Better memory and information retention
-
Greater ability to focus and complete tasks
-
Improved sleep and reduced anxiety
-
More stable moods and less irritability
Since neurofeedback promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize itself—it can help restore healthy brain function that was disrupted during or after a viral infection.
