“…For example, a higher theta (4-8 Hz) power has been reported in alcoholics when compared with control subjects indicating a reduction or blocking capability of the individual to encode new information (Mumtaz et al, 2018). The abnormal elevation of theta in the posterior region is also associated with deficient inhibition and excitation (Mohan & Rajeshwaren, 2015). Additionally, a decrement in alpha (8-12 Hz) oscillatory powers especially in the occipital regions of AUD patients is an indication of impaired memory and attention, in addition to dysregulated stress response (Mumtaz et al, 2018).…”

“…Hence, training alcohol-dependent individuals to increase their alpha and theta rhythms is associated with a decrease in alcohol intake and relapse (Mohan & Rajeshwaren, 2015). Furthermore, unlocking the direct control of the brain also induces changes at the neurochemical level by increasing beta-endorphins (a stress index), which is related to the stress of abstinence (Ross, 2013).…”

Background. The conventional treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD) consists of dual treatment encompassing pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Nonetheless, the impact of these treatments on clinical and neurocognitive outcomes is only low to medium efficacy. Research studies substantiate the integration of electroencephalogram neurofeedback training (EEG-NFT) as an add-on tool with significant improvements in clinical and neurocognitive outcomes. Methods. A scoping review of the existing literature on EEG-NFT and AUD, which are open access, including review papers and empirical studies in the English language, and with human subjects are deemed worthy of the scope of this study. The keywords electroencephalogram neurofeedback training, alcohol use disorder, stress, neurocognition, and relapse were used. The primary sources of the literature search were Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. A total of 35 articles have been included in the scoping review. Studies from the last 15 years were considered for the same. Results. This review revealed that EEG-NFT is a promising tool with significant improvements in stress levels, cognitive deficits, and relapse rates for individuals with AUD when used in integration with conventional treatments. Conclusion. Chronic alcohol use affects cognitive functions, escalates relapse rate, and increases stress experienced by the individual. The present study highlights the significance of NFT as a potent add-on treatment modality to improve clinical and cognitive outcomes, thereby facilitating abstinence and reducing relapse rates in individuals with AUD.
