Low energy neurofeedback system (LENS) is a treatment protocol developed by Ochslabs Inc. The following information is an excerpt from the ochs lab's website: (ochslabs.com):

“The LENS has been successfully applied to central nervous problems, such as symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and spinal injury, stroke rehabilitation, fibromyalgia, depression and other mood and anxiety disorders, attention (ADD/ADHD), explosiveness/anger, and learning disabilities (LD). Other areas include: Cerebral Palsy, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RADD), Autism (AU), Asperger’s Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD),Aneurysm, Stroke, Alzheimer’s’ Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Phobias, Bipolar Disorder, Epilepsy, Tourette’s Syndrome, and Tics, PTSD, Pain, and Bereavement. Controlled studies on the LENS have been and are being conducted. Several university and medical human subjects review committees have reviewed the LENS treatment and have found it to be “minimally invasive”.

Effects of the LENS: The LENS tends to make functioning clearer and easier. It has increased cognitive functioning (memory, concentration, attention, ability to learn and read, organizing, and sequencing), motivation (initiating and completing activities), and motor skills (coordination, balance, grace, recovery from paralysis). It has elevated mood as an antidepressant. It has improved sleep at night, and reduced sleepiness during the day. It has increased energy and stamina. It has reduced seizures, explosiveness, irritability, spasticity, and background anxiety. It has reduced migraines and fibromyalgia pains, as well as Restless Legs problems.

Side Effects: Although no significant negative side effects have been observed so far, the ones that we have seen will be discussed with you by your LENS Clinician; and your understanding of them will help you work with us to provide successful treatment. The side effects sometimes seen with the LENS are in the form of temporary increases of the symptoms you already have. If you experience any side effects, let your LENS Clinician know so that he/she can work closely with you to adjust the dosage. This is done the same way your medications are adjusted by your physician.

Medical Stability: You must be medically stable to engage in this treatment. Please tell your Clinician if you have any changes in medication, but especially any changes that could affect your medical stability. At times, your medical stability may increase by reducing your medications. Your Clinician will ask you to consult your physician in these instances.

Discontinuing Treatment: You may discontinue treatment at any time for any reason.
