Feasibility and Safety of a Home-based Electroencephalogram Neurofeedback Intervention to Reduce Chronic Neuropathic Pain: A Cohort Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential health benefits of an 8-week home-based neurofeedback intervention.

Design

Single-group preliminary study.

Setting

Community-based.

Participants

Nine community dwelling adults with chronic neuropathic pain, 6 women and 3 men, with an average age of 51.9 years (range, 19-78 years) and with a 7-day average minimum pain score of 4 of 10 on the visual analog pain scale.

Interventions

A minimum of 5 neurofeedback sessions per week (40min/session) for 8 consecutive weeks was undertaken with a 12-week follow-up baseline electroencephalography recording period.

Main outcome measures

Primary feasibility outcomes: accessibility, tolerability, safety (adverse events and resolution), and human and i
