Here at Behavioral Associates, we are proud of the extensive expertise we offer across numerous, highly effective treatment modalities. In addition to experiencing the benefits of several clinicians having comprehensive experience in targeted areas, the majority of our practitioners are trained in several different approaches. This allows them to combine components of diverse techniques to cultivate a personalized, efficient, and powerful treatment plan.
For example, researchers recently examined the efficacy of combining pre-treatment amygdala neurofeedback (NFB) with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder. The control group received parietal neurofeedback, which was designed as a sham condition targeting a non-emotional region. The key findings include the following:
Faster and Stronger Symptom Reduction
When amygdala NFB was introduced to treatment prior to beginning CBT, subjects reported earlier improvement, lower scores on Beck’s Depression Inventory, and notably better outcomes than the control group at 6 months and 1 year.
Higher Remission Rates
While only 53% of subjects in the control group remained symptom-free at the 1 year mark, 81% of the experimental group reported full remission.
Biological Transformation
The experimental group successfully increased amygdala activity during training, while the control group did not exhibit significant changes.
This study is one of the many research endeavors seeking to explore how treatment modalities can be integrated for superior results. Here at BA, we are committed to remaining updated on current trends in psychological treatment and incorporating them into our practice. Through our own experience, we have seen how effective these two interventions can be when paired together, and our therapists are extremely well prepared to guide you through both.
