Do you also provide diagnoses or treatments only?

Yes, we also carry out diagnostics.

We use qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram) and other Clinical Psychology tools as part of our initial assessment to provide a more accurate diagnosis.

What are the service hours?

Our clinic is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

However, we perform the first evaluations only from Monday to Friday, until 16:30/17:00, since, after this time, the brain is already more tired of the day and the results for a first evaluation may not be as accurate.

How do we work at NeuroImprove Clinic?

Learn about our approach:

1- Initial Assessment: We used the Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) to assess brain electrical activity and identify areas that require intervention.

2- Report and Objective Definition: We discuss the evaluation results with the patient and define personalized therapeutic objectives.

3- Personalized Treatment Plan: We have developed a treatment plan that may include Neurofeedback and Cognitive-Behavioral Psychotherapy.

4- Training Sessions: During Neurofeedback sessions, the patient participates in activities that provide real-time feedback on brain activity, helping the brain to self-regulate.

5- Monitoring and Adjustments: We monitor patient progress and make treatment adjustments as needed.

What type of treatments do you offer?

Our main treatments involve Neurofeedback and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help children and adults overcome the challenges associated with hyperactivity, attention deficit and anxiety.

What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that quantifies and trains brain activity, adjusting it to the brain waves expected for each person, considering age and gender.

This process promotes autoregulation and can minimize or even correct dysregulations identified in the pattern of brain activity.

As a result, the brain starts to work in a more balanced way, improving the individual's physical and psychological well-being.

From what age does the NeuroImprove Clinic provide care?

We attend children from 5 years of age.

Our protocols were developed for this age group, as they require a minimum level of collaboration that can be difficult for younger children.

Yes, we offer treatments both for children (from 5 years old) and for adults of any age group.

Do you accept any health insurance?

Yes, we have agreements with some insurance companies.

How many Neurofeedback sessions are needed?

The number of sessions varies from case to case. On average, the first results are observed starting from the 10th session, and the full treatment usually lasts between 30 and 40 sessions.

Does NeuroImprove Clinic use medication?

No, at NeuroImprove we don't use medication. Our focus is on non-invasive approaches, such as Neurofeedback and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which help develop self-regulation mechanisms and improve well-being in a natural way.

However, if the need for the introduction or adjustment of medication is identified, we work together with the prescribing physicians to ensure an integrated and adequate follow-up.

Does Neurofeedback treatment interfere with medication?

No, Neurofeedback doesn't interfere with medication. It is a non-invasive technique that can complement the use of medications, helping to improve focus, self-regulation, and well-being.

Any medication adjustment must be made exclusively by the prescribing physician, and we work together to ensure an integrated and safe approach.

Is ADHD a genetic condition or can it be developed at any age?
