A retired chiropractor “Jeff” (a friend of Michael Cohen, the director) had suffered from migraines for 30 years. One evening he got a severe migraine and called Mike at 10:30 p.m. in excruciating pain. He was considering going to the hospital. He reported when this level of migraine occurred, there was no way to stop it for many hours. Mike had a neurofeedback unit at home, so he took it to Jeff’s house and used it on Jeff while Jeff was in bed. In about 15 minutes Jeff noticed a small improvement in pain. By the end of 25 minutes, Jeff reported his pain had gone from a 10 to a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. After the training stopped, he reported 5 minutes later the pain had dropped to a level 1. He said he could not believe it was possible to stop a migraine like that in such a short time – and for it simply to be virtually gone.
