Cognitive FX has treated over 1000 patients over the last 4 years. Our patients consistently improve based on the root cause of their injury, brain dysfunction, which helps them overcome their symptoms.
On average, our patients improve their brain function 75% during the week of their concussion 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 fNCI.
Patient self-reported symptoms also decrease, with an average patient improving 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.
Typically, only one week of concussion treatment is needed. However, on rare occasions and if necessary, we can provide additional services. EPIC Treatment is similar to compressing 6 months of treatment into one week, making it more effective than any other treatment approach.
The SIS radar graph shows the Severity Index Score (SIS) of 600 patients. The scale goes from 0-6, with a higher number meaning a more severe injury. Zero-0.8 is considered within normal limits (green), 0.8-1.5 is borderline range of impairment (yellow), and anything above 1.5 is in the mild to moderate impairment range.
As you can see, most patients have SIS scores in the yellow or red before they begin treatment. After EPIC Treatment, you will notice that the majority improve significantly, and most patients are within 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.
This graph analyzes 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.
Overall, we see that once a patient's brain improves it stays that way. It is important to also recognize that while some patients may not have completely gotten into the healthy range during treatment, as time goes on and they continue doing exercises, they will continue to get closer to healthy range.
Many patients begin to notice a difference in their symptoms during the week. Patients often see ongoing improvement and continue to progress months after treatment is complete.
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. We provide support for those in need of additional care. If you are looking for treatment for other conditions we cannot guarantee these same results.
Based on previous research, those who get treatment at Cognitive FX see drastic improvements in brain function. Those who did not come in for treatment did not see improvements in their brain function, see the No EPIC Treatment Patients section of the graph.
Without treatment, you can learn how to compensate for your injury. Your brain is great at adapting and adjusting to do its best 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 still not improved. Long-term, it is very important to get treatment that addresses the underlying cause of the symptoms, which is brain dysfunction (NVC).
