Neurofeedback training causes sustained reduction of epileptic seizures
A follow-up study of Tübingen University, Germany, shows that the training of the slow cortical potentials can sustainably improve symptoms of intractable epilepsy.

Even more than 10 years after completion of a controlled clinical trial on SCP training in intractable epilepsie, those participants, who had taken part in the follow-up evaluation, were still able to control their SCPs during the feedback condition. Even more, there was a significant decrease in seizure frequency 10 years after the end of the neurofeedback training.
Besides the very small sample size in the follow-up evaluation, the scientists conclude that SCP training may be considered as a treatment for patients with intractable epilepsie and as an adjunct to conventional therapy.
