Breaking Headaches' Grip

There are several types of headaches each from a different source, so sorting out the cause and remedy can be difficult and frustrating. A medical exam is recommended, but, when serious pathology has been ruled out, NeuroMatrix Neural Efficiency Training™ has proven its efficiency in reducing or even eliminating chronic headaches.

The two most common types of headaches are Migraine headaches, which are typically one sided and accompanied by nausea, vomiting, irritability, and photophobia (avoidance of light), and Tension headaches, which are caused by the pain of increased tension of the muscles around the head, face and eyes.

The Quantitative EEG (computerized brain wave analysis) aids in understanding the nature of either type headache. Those with Migraines tend to show inefficient brain wave patterning, especially during an attack. Tension headaches are typically associated with excess muscle tension, which produces fast high amplitude waves superimposed on the brain wave patterning, plus the reaction of stress on the brain waves. Because NeuroMatrix Neural Efficiency Training™ combines remediation and optimization of brain function plus relaxation/breathing training, both types of headaches are typically reduced or eliminated.

If desired, Dr. Sams can prescribe specific Chinese Herbs or homeopathic preparations for faster relief, as well as perform Auricular (ear) Laserpuncture, an advanced acupuncture technique using a soft laser.

Attacking the Source of Headaches

Because it works directly with the brain, NeuroMatrix Neural Efficiency Training™ is an accelerated process for the remediation and recovery from headache problems. The Quantitative EEG defines where and in what way the brain is neurologically inefficient and doing its job poorly; research based training protocols then remediate what is found.

Included in these sessions are:

• Proprietary, clinically proven Neurofeedback™ (brain wave training) protocols created and developed by Marvin Sams, a medical professional with almost five decades of clinical and research experience.


• Heart Rate Variability biofeedback teaches breathing techniques to coach the body to be more relaxed under stressful situations.


• Exclusive Audio-Visual Entrainment (flashing light and pulsing sound) programs developed by Dr. Sams help “pull” or “nudge” the brain out of “stuck” brain patterns, a common finding in those that have suffered trauma.


• Transcranial DC Modulation, a technology that enhances and stabilizes brain function, is particularly effective in remediating Migraine headaches.

To track progress, a Quantitative EEG is done at each session. Statistical comparisons are made to the initial QEEG evaluation and the previous session to determine how much progress has been made. This important benefit is available only at The Sams Center.

Speaking to outcome, not only are headaches typically reduced or eliminated, focus, attention and learning ability improve, mood becomes stabilized with a general sense of well being, memory is sharpened, and emotional resilience is enhanced.

Training Schedule

If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we schedule to your convenience. At least two to four sessions a week are recommended.

For those coming from outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area, a typical stay is two weeks. We do two sessions a day, working six days a week.

Many complete NeuroMatrix Neural Efficiency Training in 24-30 sessions. Those with a traumatic brain injury, complicated symptoms, or a long history of drug use may take a few more sessions. Should this prove to be the case, training can be completed on a brief return visit in a few months or weeks, or with a special at-home trainer.
