My wife had a stroke a little over 2 years ago. She has not regained any movement in her arm. She now wants to try neuro feedback and EEG Biofeedback treatment. We have tried everything else from PO and OT to Botox. Has anyone had any experience with this type of treatment . Thanks Mike

Biofeedback training may be used to teach the patient how to consciously reduce muscle tension.

Self-directed EMG training for the control of pain and spasticity in paraplegia: A case study. http://www.springerlink.com/conten... I couldn't get to the complete study here I did ask about this when I was still in therapy but it was not available.
