OCD Support

How the NeuroNova Chair Supports OCD Relief

 

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder often involves overactive brain circuits that make it difficult to stop intrusive or repetitive thoughts. The NeuroNova Chair targets these underlying features by gently stimulating brain regions involved in self-regulation and focus.

​

OCD is linked to hyperactivity in areas like the prefrontal cortex, particularly the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which drives cycles of rumination — replaying worries such as “Did I forget to turn off the stove?” This mental looping creates ongoing stress and anxiety.

​

How It Works

 

The NeuroNova Chair’s unique vibration technology engages the mesolimbic dopamine system, helping restore balance between dopamine and GABA activity. This can produce a natural calming effect in the brain regions connected to emotional control — including the amygdala and hippocampus.

​

Additionally, the chair activates the cerebellum, which communicates directly with the prefrontal cortex. This connection can help regulate overactive thought patterns and reduce compulsive behaviors.

​

Many people with OCD instinctively find repetitive motions soothing — rocking, tapping, or pacing — because these movements stimulate the cerebellum. The NeuroNova Chair provides this same type of mechanosensory stimulation in a more consistent, therapeutic way.

A Natural Way to Support OCD Recovery

 

By promoting healthy dopamine balance and synchronized brain activity, the NeuroNova Chair may help individuals with OCD experience:

• Reduced rumination and intrusive thoughts

• Calmer emotional responses

• Improved focus and mental clarity

• Greater sense of control
