Do you accept insurance?

Do you accept insurance?

Brain Balance is not a medical program and does not provide a diagnosis, nor is it covered by health insurance.

Is there any research behind the program?

Is there any research behind the program?

In an independent, exploratory study by researchers at Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital (Psychiatry Research, 2023), children with ADHD showed a drop in symptoms comparable to low-dose stimulant medication after 15 weeks, and the gains held at a 7-month follow-up. In a study with Cambridge Brain Sciences (2021), children improved on all 12 cognitive tasks after three months, compared with a control group. A study in the Journal of Mental Health and Clinical Psychology (2020) found that 75% of children improved in anxiety and emotional functioning.
