Enhanced cognitive control following neurofeedback therapy in chronic treatment-resistant PTSD among refugees: a feasibility study
These findings suggest that NFT can alleviate PTSD symptoms in refugees with chronic treatment-resistant PTSD. Treatment response was associated with a normalisation of the P3d waveform suggestive of enhanced cognitive control. The baseline SPW predicted treatment response. Further research should incorporate randomised controlled trials and larger, multi-centre samples to enhance robustness and generalisability.
