A report on 71 patients with recurrent migraine who had a QEEG; all showed excess high-beta (21-30 Hz) activity in one to four areas. The 46 who chose QEEG-guided neurofeedback, run on BrainMaster Atlantis systems to reduce 21-30 Hz and increase 10 Hz, did far better than the 25 who stayed on medication alone.
