Injured Brains to Improved Function: Hope for Concussion and Brain Injury Recovery

Sports are a year round occurrence, and that creates the reality of concussions and head injuries. While sports injuries grab the headlines, brain injuries happen every day — from car accidents, falls, or even minor bumps to the head. These injuries can have lasting effects that disrupt everyday life in ways most people don’t expect.

Suppose you’ve ever experienced a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI). In that case, you may know the lingering symptoms all too well — fatigue, headaches, dizziness, difficulty focusing, memory lapses, mood swings, sensitivity to light and sound, or feeling emotionally “off.” For many, these symptoms linger for months or even years, making it difficult to work, sleep, or feel like themselves again.

Or what if the brain could actually be restored? What if the solution were not just managing symptoms, but a safe, noninvasive therapy that helps the brain heal?

A Breakthrough in Brain Recovery

Recent advances in neuroscience have shown that the brain is far more adaptable than once believed. Through a process called neuroplasticity, the brain can form new connections and restore communication pathways disrupted by injury. One of the most promising tools supporting this process is IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback (MCN) — a gentle, effective technology that helps “reset” the brain toward balance and optimal function.

Unlike traditional neurofeedback, which requires the patient to respond to stimuli actively, IASIS MCN delivers extremely low electrical pulses — less than a cell phone signal — through small scalp electrodes. These microcurrents help the brain reorganize and calm itself, promoting metabolic clearance and better regulation of brain activity.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, including Dr. Mingxiong Huang and Dr. Roland Lee, used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to measure its effects on veterans with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Their findings were groundbreaking:

After just six weeks of IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback treatments, five out of six participants showed significant improvement in both brain function and symptom reduction — nearly 50% better than baseline (1).

How IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback Works

IASIS MCN sessions are comfortable, relaxing, and completely safe. During a typical 30–45 minute session:

  • Tiny electrodes are placed on the scalp to measure brain activity.
  • A gentle microcurrent is delivered — so mild that most clients don’t even feel it.
  • The current signals the brain to “reset,” improving communication and reducing patterns of dysregulation associated with injury, trauma, anxiety, and cognitive fatigue.

Clients often describe feeling calmer, clearer, and more focused even after their first few sessions. Over time, the effects accumulate — leading to improved sleep, mood stability, attention, and overall cognitive performance.

IASIS MCN is particularly helpful for:

  • Post-concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
  • PTSD and trauma recovery
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Chronic headaches or migraines
  • Sleep disturbances and brain fog
  • Cognitive fatigue and difficulty concentrating

Real Healing Beyond Symptom Management

Traditional treatments for brain injuries often focus on managing symptoms through medications or psychotherapy alone. While these approaches can help, they don’t directly address the disrupted electrical communication within the brain itself. IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback does.

By supporting the brain’s ability to self-regulate, IASIS helps restore natural function at the source — rather than masking or compensating for symptoms. This makes it a game-changer for anyone struggling with the lingering effects of a head injury, concussion, or neurological dysregulation.

Many clients at Authentic Brain Solutions in Conroe, Texas, have experienced profound improvements after a series of IASIS MCN sessions — reporting sharper thinking, calmer moods, improved sleep, and a sense of “getting their brain back.”
