Support Visual Snow Syndrome Research
The Visual Snow Initiative is a nonprofit organization dedicated to global awareness, education, resources, patient advocacy, treatment development, and research for Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS).
Your tax-deductible contribution ensures that global research will continue and makes a positive difference in the lives of people affected by VSS.
Current areas of study include:
• Identifying biomarkers
• Understanding the pathophysiology
• Identifying potential treatments, which includes both noninvasive and pharmacological interventions
Methods include:
• Brain imaging using the most powerful state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques, including a 7-Tesla MRI
• Utilizing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy modified for VSS symptoms (MBCT-vision) to alter the brain’s visual network and neural pathways to alleviate symptoms
• Utilizing visual tests and blood samples
• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Neuromodulation
• Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Therapy (NORT) to strengthen visual function, alleviate symptoms, and improve quality of life
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) / Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
