Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine an effective training method to improve sequela, since traumatic brain injury sequela is a major factor in determining the quality of life. Neurofeedback training was conducted for an adolescent who had experienced traumatic brain injury during his childhood and who had difficulty in cognitive learning and emotional aspects. The assessment of an adolescent was conducted using K-WAIS-IV intelligence test and QEEG brain wave analysis. In the neurofeedback training, T3 alpha wave compensation and T4 alpha wave inhibition training were performed 36 times for 30 minutes three times a week. In addition to the neurofeedback training, respiratory meditation was also made available to the adolescent. As a result, the adolescent showed a stable condition as indicated by taking a good sleep, reducing test anxiety, and satisfaction with final exam results. This study revealed the possibility for hidden physical and psychological problems arising due to childhood brain trauma. It has also recently been discovered that a more diverse set of tools can be found. In addition, these childhood traumatic brain injuries can be improved through brain training and meditation. The study finding is meaningful for its suggestion of a fusion method for developing mind and body therapy in terms of brain science.

본 연구의 목적은 외상성 뇌손상 후유증이 삶의 질을 결정할 수 있는 주요한 요인이기 때문에, 후유증을 호전시킬 수 있는 효과적인 훈련 방법을 찾는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 어린 시절 외상성 뇌손상을 경험하고 인지 학습과정서적인 부분에 어려움이 있는 청소년을 대상으로 하여 뉴로피드백 훈련을 실시하였다. 환아 평가는 K-WAIS-IV 지능검사와 QEEG 뇌파 분석을 사용하였다. 뉴로 피드백 훈련은 T3 알파파 보상, T4의 알파파 억제 훈련을 주 3회 30분씩, 총 36회를 훈련하였다. 또한 뉴로피드백 훈련과 함께 호흡 명상도 환아 스스로 실시할 수 있도록 하였다. 그 결과 숙면을 취하고 시험불안의 감소, 기말고사 성적의 만족 등의 안정적인 상태를 보였다. 본 연구는 유년기 두뇌 외상으로 인하여 가시적으로 드러나지 않는 기질적, 심인성 문제들이 존재할 가능성과 이를 발견할 수 있는 다양한 도구의 활용에 대해 발견했다. 또한 유년기 외상성 뇌손상의 경우 뇌 훈련과 명상을 통하여 호전될 수 있다는 결과를 나타냈다. 이는 뇌과학의 측면에서 심신 치료에 도움이 되는 융합적 방법을 제시하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.
