Cognitive FX has treated over 1800 patients over the last 5 years. Our patients consistently improve because we treat the root cause of their injury - brain dysfunction - which helps them overcome their symptoms.
On average, our patients improve their brain function 75% in a single week of treatment. Over 77% of our patients improve 60-100% and 43% of our patients improve 80-100% on their Severity Index Score (SIS) as measured by their brain scan.
Patient self-reported symptoms improves by an average of 60%. This is a measured with the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS). Over 60% of our patients improve 60-100%, and 33% of our patients improve 80-100% from their symptoms.
This graph shows the Severity Index Score (SIS) of 600 patients before and after EPIC treatment. Higher numbers mean a more severe injury. 0-0.8 is within normal limits (green), 0.8-1.5 is borderline range of impairment (yellow), and anything above 1.5 is in the moderate to severe impairment range.
As you can see, most patients have SIS scores in the yellow or red before they begin treatment. After EPIC Treatment the majority improve significantly and most patients enter normal limits.
The PCSS radar graph shows the overall severity of symptoms for every patient we have treated and their improvement after one week. The overall score is on a scale from 0-100, with a higher score meaning more symptoms.
After one week of treatment, patients see a drastic improvement in the symptoms they are experiencing.
Short answer: YES!
Overall, once a patient's brain improves it stays that way. On average 80% of our patients do not need to come back for more treatment. Typically, those coming back were re-injured or they did not improve quite as much as they wanted too.
It is important to also recognize that while some patients may not have completely recovered during treatment, as they continue doing their prescribed exercises, they will continue to get closer to healthy range. Patients often see ongoing improvement and continue to progress months after treatment is complete.
We provide support for those in need of additional care.
This graph shows pre- and post-treatment and follow up fNCI of 30 random patients. Follow-up scans were completed up to 3 years after completing treatment at Cognitive FX.
As shown on the graph, those who treat with Cognitive FX experience drastic improvements in brain function. Those who did not come in for treatment did not see improvements in their brain function.
Without treatment, you can learn how to compensate for your injury. In fact, this is what many physicians outside Cognitive FX focus on. Your brain is great at adapting and adjusting to handle the aftermath of an injury. However, compensation is not recovery and patients may see a short-term reduction of symptoms by compensating, but over time they notice that their quality of life has either not improved or gotten even worse.
Long-term, it is very important to get treatment that addresses the underlying cause of the symptoms, which is brain dysfunction.
