How does the Axon system help with pain management?

The Axon system can support pain management in several ways:

  • Reduced Pain Intensity: Research has shown that increasing alpha wave activity is associated with a reduction in pain intensity, helping patients feel more comfortable.
  • Improved Relaxation: Since stress can worsen pain, alpha waves contribute to a more relaxed state, indirectly helping to manage pain by reducing stress levels.
  • Enhanced Pain Coping Skills: Through regular neurofeedback (NFB) training, individuals can develop improved pain coping mechanisms, fostering a greater sense of control over their pain conditions.
  • Boosted Mood: By increasing alpha wave activity, the Axon system helps to enhance mood. A positive mood is often linked with higher pain tolerance and can significantly improve the quality of life for chronic pain sufferers.
  • Better Sleep: Studies have suggested that increased alpha activity can lead to improved sleep quality. Given the relationship between rest and well-being, better sleep can further support pain management.
  • Reduced Dependency on Medications: Some users in clinical trials have reported a decreased need for pain medications after NFB training, reducing the potential side effects that come with long-term drug use.

who can use the Axon?

The Axon from Exsurgo is a drug-free system designed to help those with chronic pain, whilst also alleviating stress and anxiety.  Axon uses EEG neurofeedback to help your brain learn to respond differently to pain. A special headset measures your brain’s electrical activity (via non-invasive sensors) and provides real-time feedback to a mobile app. You’ll play interactive games where the app uses visual and sound cues to guide you. When your brain activity moves in the right direction, the app gives you positive feedback.

This non-invasive technique takes advantage of neuroplasticity to reshape neural pathways involved in pain processing. By addressing both the physiological and psychological components of pain, the Axon system offers a comprehensive approach to managing chronic pain.
