“…Very similar therapeutic approaches were used to ameliorate the symptoms of the aforementioned pain disorders. Previously, other researchers described the efficiency of NFB in reducing pain due to headaches, fibromyalgia, and other pain syndromes (Caro & Winter, 2011;Kayiran, Dursun, Ermutlu, Dursun, & Karamürsel, 2007;Kayiran, Dursun, Dursun, Ermutlu, & Karamürsel, 2010;Stokes & Lappin, 2010;Walker, 2011). Stokes reported that 70% of migraine patients experienced at least a 50% reduction in pain.…”

“…Although feedback can also be based on magnetic (magnetoencephalogram) or on near real-time hemodynamic measures of brain activity (near infrared spectroscopy, real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging) apart from 1 study using tomographic neurofeedback (tNF) [10], only the low cost EEG-based neurofeedback has been used for ADHD treatment. Through operant conditioning, individuals can be trained to control brain electric activity and a growing body of evidence shows that this can be helpful for the treatment of mental/ neurological conditions, such as epilepsy [11], brain injury [12], chronic pain [13], ADHD [14], insomnia [15], and others.…”

Evidence-Based Information on the Clinical Use of Neurofeedback for ADHD

Summary Neurofeedback (NF) is a training to enhance selfregulatory capacity over brain activity patterns and consequently over brain mental states. Recent findings suggest that NF is a promising alternative for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We comprehensively reviewed literature searching for studies on the effectiveness and specificity of NF for the treatment of ADHD. In addition, clinically informative evidence-based data are discussed. We found 3 systematic review on the use of NF for ADHD and 6 randomized controlled trials that have not been included in these reviews. Most nonrandomized controlled trials found positive results with medium-to-large effect sizes, but the evidence for effectiveness are less robust when only randomized controlled studies are considered. The direct comparison of NF and sham-NF in 3 published studies have found no group differences, nevertheless methodological caveats, such as the quality of the training protocol used, sample size, and sample selection may have contributed to the negative results. Further data on specificity comes from electrophysiological studies reporting that NF effectively changes brain activity patterns. No safety issues have emerged from clinical trials and NF seems to be well tolerated and accepted. Follow-up studies support long-term effects of NF. Currently there is no available data to guide clinicians on the predictors of response to NF and on optimal treatment protocol. In conclusion, NF is a valid option for the treatment for ADHD, but further evidence is required to guide its use.

“…(NEUROFEEDBACK BACKGROUND) Neurofeedback (NFT), or computer-aided real-time behavioral training of the electroencephalogram (EEG), has been shown to be a clinically effective treatment for some chronic pain for short periods of time conditions in some situations [4] in peer-reviewed journals. Also, posters/presentations at conferences have been presented on NFTB's effectiveness with pain conditions in certain circumstances [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and fibromyalgia in particular [12]. However, the use of NFT for chronic neck or back pain beyond the immediate effect to relieve pain does not have any published peer-reviewed research.…”

The combination of neurofeedback and physical therapy is a novel approach for chronic pain treatment. A 66 year old woman with a history of 9 years of chronic head and neck pain, whose progress toward pain reduction had reached a plateau and physical therapy only providing maintenance, was administered 32 sessions of physical therapy and 50 sessions of neurofeedback over a 6 month period. The patient achieved significant reduction in pain, improved sleep, and increase in functional mobility utilizing this combined approach. Pain intensity was reduced from 7.13/10 to 2.30/10, and the number of days with high pain reduced from 4-5 per week to 1 or less per week. Functionally, the patient increased her sitting tolerance by 2 hours, driving tolerance by 80 minutes and improved average sleep per night by 3 hours. The brain map findings showed reduction in occipital muscle artifact, Alpha peak frequency, and Alpha in the posterior cortex. Overall, this change added up to a 37-42% improvement in electro-cortical functioning. The importance of these findings is that the combination of physical therapy and neurofeedback may provide an alternative treatment regimen to chronic pain management that lowers the reliance on medication and reduces long-term costs.
