The emWave program can be effectively used in many situations where improving autonomic nervous system stability, emotional self-management and stress reduction are appropriate. The following are some examples of facilities and practitioners who are successfully using the program with children, teens, and adults.

University of North Carolina Hospital, Burn Unit, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The Recreational Therapy Department is using the emWave program with burn patients. A senior recreation therapist is a licensed HeartMath provider and has trained 25 therapists in the hospital to use the program with children, teen, and adult burn patients. What they are reporting is that burn injuries often have physical, psychological and emotional ramifications. Trauma on a psychological level frequently accompanies the physical trauma of the burn injury. The emWave program offers patients a means for reducing the distress associated with post burn psychopathology and a method for influencing the pathophysiology.

Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital, Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic, Inglewood, California
A social worker in the Pain and Rehabilitation Clinic is using the program with chronic pain patients and injured workers, and has obtained approval from the State Workers Compensation insurance companies for the emWave program to be purchased as a home training unit. The premise is that by having the employee learn to manage stress and pain, they can return to work sooner and stay on the job longer. Some of the injured workers and pain patients she has used with program with include US Postal Service workers.

Kaiser Permanente, Pain Clinics, Sacramento and San Francisco, California
Pain clinics at Kaiser facilities are using the program with chronic pain patients. Most of these patients have tried many other modalities and come to the clinic frustrated and discouraged. The clients using the emWave program report relief from pain and have an improvement in emotional attitude. The practitioners report they like the program because it is easy to understand and use, and patients like to use the program, particularly the games.

Children's Hospitals, Minneapolis, New York, Oakland, Cleveland
Pediatricians have found that children and teens can quickly and easily learn self-regulation techniques, and the emWave program is being used at children's hospitals in many cities. Doctor visits by children and teens are on the increase, and they are reporting more bodily symptoms, such as pain, trouble sleeping, appetite changes, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Stress and the accompanying sympathetic nervous system over-arousal can lead to flare ups of these conditions. Using the emWave program for emotional management and self regulation has been particularly effective short-term and long-term with children and teens.

National Jewish Medical Center, Pediatrics, Denver, Colorado
A pediatrician uses the emWave program with children nine through adolescence who have anxiety and breathing disorders, such as cystic fibrosis or asthma. Emotional regulation can affect the course of asthma and the frequency of exacerbations. The emWave program is helpful in providing tools for children and teens with asthma and breathing disorders to better manage long-term health as well as acute events.

Allegheny Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
A nurse is using the program for pain, chronic disorders, stress and anxiety, and has used the program on clients with Multiple Sclerosis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and Hypertension. A reduction in symptoms was noted which was related to the client learning self regulation and stress management skills. The emWave program has also been successfully used with clients for anger management and depression.

Niagara University, Counseling Center, Niagara Falls, New York
The director of the counseling center has been using the program with students, and is finding that it is one of the few stress reduction resources that goes to the core of the problem rather than just reducing the symptoms. He has introduced the emWave program to students in individual sessions at the counseling center, incoming freshman classes, and students in a graduate course called Wellness and the Counseling Process. He is finding the emWave program effective in managing stress and anxiety, and also improving academic performance.

Soledad Correctional Facility, Soledad, California
A psychologist at this facility is using the program with inmates in the prisons psychiatric program to help them with emotional management, particularly anger. The inmates learn to reduce their impulsivity, manage their emotions, feel their feelings, and increase their behavioral choices. He calls the emWave program hope for the hopeless because men who've never stopped long enough to feel their feelings are now realizing they can make choices, they can handle their feelings differently, and things seem to work better when they do.

Ikazia Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands
A pediatrician at this hospital sees over one hundred children per year with concentration problems, ranging from ADD/ADHD characteristics and mental handicaps to learning problems in general. Changing their attention from the head to the heart was a new experience for these children, one of learning to concentrate in another way. The emWave program has had a positive effect and the children learned to get control of disturbing emotions, there was less disruptive behavior and more focus on learning, and their classroom performance improved.

Clinical Psychologist, Neuro-Psychology Associates, Plainwell, Michigan
A psychologist, formerly the director of a cancer clinic at a medical facility and now in private practice, has been using self-regulation strategies with cancer patients. When diagnosed, cancer patients often feel as though they are totally out of control and that their bodies have failed them. Cancer patients are often pleasantly surprised that learning self-regulation strategies can help them cope more effectively. The emWave program has been an especially useful tool to teach people to gain greater control over physiological function; it provides an experiential way for cancer patients to regain a sense of control.
