View demoDisensate Recompensa is a specialized treatment that combines neurofeedback therapy with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) and Virtual Reality to treat chronic neuropathic pain, such as phantom limb pain. Patients learn to 'desensitize' pain signals in the brain via visual reward systems in a VR environment.
The treatment is developed for adults suffering from chronic neuropathic pain, including phantom pain after an amputation, pain from nerve damage, or other forms of persistent nerve pain that do not respond adequately to conventional therapies.
Through a Brain-Computer Interface, brainwave signals are measured in real-time. These signals are linked to a virtual environment. Patients see their brain activity visually represented and learn to influence these signals through mental focus, which is directly rewarded in the VR experience, leading to desensitization of the pain pathways.
Yes, our method is based on current neuroscientific research on neuroplasticity and pain modulation. We use proven principles of operant conditioning via neurofeedback, now advanced with modern BCI and VR technology for a more targeted and engaging therapy.
A typical course consists of several sessions spread over a few weeks. The exact duration is personal and depends on the individual response. During an intake, we determine a customized treatment plan together.
