Interventions for improvement of cognitive problems in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) include electroencephalography biofeedback, also known as neurofeedback. Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) patterns are assessed in TBI patients and then compared to a database obtained from a normative population. Deviations in QEEG patterns from the normative group are the basis for an intervention plan. While QEEG patterns, obtained under an eyes closed, resting condition, provide information about deviations at rest, QEEG patterns obtained while the patient engages in cognitive tasks reflect specific deficiencies in brain functioning. This paper reviews and assesses QEEG patterns collected under both resting conditions as well as cognitive tasks. The article provides a theoretical and empirical base for QEEG interventions with TBI.
改善创伤性脑损伤(TBI)患者认知问题的干预措施包括脑电图生物反馈,也称为神经反馈。对TBI患者的定量脑电图(QEEG)模式进行评估,然后与从正常人群获得的数据库进行比较。QEEG模式与正常组的偏差是制定干预计划的基础。虽然在闭眼静息状态下获得的QEEG模式提供了静息时偏差的信息,但患者在进行认知任务时获得的QEEG模式反映了大脑功能的特定缺陷。本文回顾并评估了在静息条件和认知任务下收集的QEEG模式。本文为TBI患者的QEEG干预提供了理论和实证基础。
