Micro Current Neurofeedback: An Overview

Micro Current Neurofeedback, often known as MCN therapy, is a groundbreaking neurofeedback treatment designed to help the brain effectively 'reboot' itself. This innovative therapy is increasingly utilized to tackle a range of mind-related issues, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and various other disorders (see the list below). It offers a safe, painless, non-invasive, and efficient solution for both adults and children. During a typical MCN therapy session, small electrodes are placed on a patient's head to monitor brain wave patterns, facilitating a 're-routing' of ingrained patterns within the brain.  

This process enables the brain to adapt and create new brain wave patterns. Many patients notice enhancements in mental clarity, a sense of calmness, improved sensory perceptions, and more restorative sleep after their initial MCN sessions. Notably, over 85% of individuals report significant positive changes within the first five sessions of this neurofeedback treatment.  

We can customize a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.  

MCN therapy has shown effectiveness in assisting individuals with:  

· Academic performance  

· Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)  

· Addiction  

· Anxiety  

· Athletic performance  

· Autism  

· Cancer treatment side effects  

· Chronic fatigue  

· Fibromyalgia  

· Concussion  

· Depression  

· Insomnia  

· Memory issues  

· Migraines  

· Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)  

· Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)  

There are various types of neurofeedback available today, but MCN therapy uses the least amount of exposure necessary to achieve results, significantly reducing the risk of over-stimulation. In comparison with some traditional neurofeedback options, MCN has shown effectiveness in achieving results in a shorter time frame.

Is It Safe?  

IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCN therapy) is an FDA-registered EEG amplifier known for its exceptional safety and pain-free experience. The electric current utilized in this neurofeedback treatment is approximately 1/100 of an AA battery for just 1/100 of a second, rendering it virtually imperceptible. This advanced MCN therapy is safe and effective for both adults and children, fostering healthy brain wave patterns.  

How many treatments do I need?  

Every patient's needs are distinct, but generally, three to five sessions of MCN therapy show positive results. For prolonged benefits, a total of 10-20 sessions is typically advised to help maintain the improvement.  

How long does it last?  

In contrast to traditional neurofeedback treatments that necessitate active engagement, such as watching videos, MCN therapy provides a more passive approach. This makes it ideal for both kids and adults who may have limited attention spans. The equipment setup takes about 10 minutes, followed by around 10 minutes dedicated to the neurofeedback treatment itself.  

How much does it cost?  

Each MCN therapy session is priced at $150. Initial sessions last about 45 minutes, while later sessions usually range from 20 to 30 minutes. If patients opt to prepay for 12 sessions, they can do so for a total of $1500 ($125 per session).  

Is MCN covered by insurance?  

Typically, MCN therapy is not covered by insurance, but we can provide patients with super bills to submit to their insurers for potential reimbursement, although the MCN services themselves are not submitted directly to insurance.
