Short-term memory loss

These are some things those suffering from "brain fog" may experience after recovering from COVID-19 infection.
How Can Direct Neurofeedback Help With
Reducing Brain Fog
Direct neurofeedback works by resetting the brain from any trauma. The brain reacts to Covid like any other trauma. It get stuck in dysfunctional patterns and appears to have very little natural ability to heal itself.
No one knows what causes Covid brain fog, or any type of brain fog for that matter. However, Direct Neurofeedback can disrupt these patterns, It does this by sending an imperceptible pulse to the brain that allows the brain to reset itself and begin to heal.
What is amazing is that the pulse sent to the brain is so subtle that it is described as being 1/1000th the power of holding a AA battery to your forehead. I believe that this is why it works. The pulse is so gentle that it can never harm the brain, and it is so subtle that it influences brain patterns without any resistance or lasting side effects.
Studies report the occurrence of Brain Fog both in people who were hospitalized with severe COVID cases as well as in those with mild cases.
$49 New Patient Special Offer: (Usually $270.00) Includes a consultation and demonstration of Direct Neurofeedback. Try Neurofeedback for yourself.
The good news is that with Direct Neurofeedback cognitive impairments from COVID, or any other source of brain trauma, are potentially reversible.
Patients with Long Covid find it hard to concentrate. They often can't think of a specific word they want to use, and they are uncharacteristically forgetful.
It is estimated that 22% to 37% of patients who recovered from COVID-19 still have brain fog as part of their experience of long COVID.
People struggling with the effects of long COVID may have noticeable cognitive problems that includes attention, memory, and executive function.
Treating Brain Fog
Cognitive Problems?
Cognition refers to processes in the brain that we use to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention. Cognitive problems are a reduction in your ability to perform one or more of these skills.
Among people who were hospitalized for COVID, a wide range of cognitive problems from Brain Fog have been reported. They include difficulties with attention, poor memory, and a lessened ability to learn, store, retain, and later retrieve information.
Brain Fog can also have an impact on executive function, which involves more complex skills such as planning, organization, focusing attention, remembering instructions, and managing multiple tasks.
'Brain Fog' is the feeling that you're trying to do something with your brain and it's taking so much more effort than ever before. This is a very common aspect of Long Covid. The brain has a very difficult time healing from this disease and the symptoms often subside very slowly or just don't go away.
