Chronic stress exposure is a widespread and disabling condition that disrupts neurophysiological regulation and affects emotional, cognitive, and somatic domains. In this series, the term "chronic stress exposure" refers to prolonged exposure to psychosocial and occupational stressors that, although not classified as a distinct disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) or International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), can induce persistent dysregulation of brain networks involved in emotion and cognition. Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) Brain Wave Optimization Gamma (BWO-G) is a noninvasive neuromodulation protocol aimed at restoring neural coherence by enhancing subcortical-cortical connectivity. This retrospective case series presents five individuals with exposure to chronic stress who underwent 18 sessions of REAC BWO-G. Pre- and post-treatment evaluations included quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), Independent Component Analysis (ICA), and standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA). Across all cases, post-treatment assessments revealed consistent trends of increased power symmetry in delta, theta, and alpha bands, along with frequency shifts and reorganization of dominant cortical activity toward areas associated with emotional regulation and the default mode network. Clinically, all patients reported improvements in emotional stability, sleep quality, and cognitive clarity. These findings support the potential of REAC BWO-G to modulate dysfunctional cortical dynamics associated with chronic stress exposure and highlight the utility of qEEG-based neuroimaging in monitoring therapeutic effects.
长期暴露于压力之下是一种普遍存在且使人衰弱的状况,它会扰乱神经生理调节,并影响情绪、认知和躯体领域。在本系列研究中,“长期暴露于压力之下”这一术语指的是长期暴露于心理社会和职业压力源之下,这些压力源虽然在《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版(DSM-5)或《国际疾病分类》第10版(ICD-10)中未被归类为一种独特的疾病,但可导致参与情绪和认知的脑网络持续失调。射频电不对称输送器(REAC)脑波优化伽马(BWO-G)是一种非侵入性神经调节方案,旨在通过增强皮层下-皮层连接来恢复神经相干性。本回顾性病例系列介绍了5名长期暴露于压力之下并接受了18次REAC BWO-G治疗的个体。治疗前和治疗后的评估包括定量脑电图(qEEG)、独立成分分析(ICA)和标准化低分辨率脑电磁断层扫描(sLORETA)。在所有病例中,治疗后的评估显示,在δ波、θ波和α波频段,功率对称性增加,同时频率发生变化,主导皮层活动向与情绪调节和默认模式网络相关的区域重新组织,呈现出一致的趋势。临床上,所有患者均报告情绪稳定性、睡眠质量和认知清晰度有所改善。这些发现支持了REAC BWO-G调节与长期暴露于压力之下相关的功能失调皮层动力学的潜力,并突出了基于qEEG的神经成像在监测治疗效果方面的实用性。
