Home-based EEG Neurofeedback for the Treatment of Chronic Pain: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

This parallel, 2-arm, blinded, randomized controlled superiority trial examined whether, when added to usual care, active-electroencephalography neurofeedback (EEG NFB) was safe and more effective than sham control-EEG NFB for chronic pain. In total, 116 participants with chronic pain were randomly assigned (1:1) to usual care plus ≥32 sessions of active-EEG NFB upregulating relative alpha power over C4 or usual care plus ≥32 sessions of sham control-EEG NFB. Per-protocol analyses revealed no significant between-group differences in the primary outcome, Brief Pain Inventory average pain (mean difference [95% confidence interval]: -.

Home-Based EEG Neurofeedback Intervention for the Management of Chronic Pain.

Background: Chronic pain and associated symptoms often cause significant disability and reduced quality of life (QoL). Neurofeedback (NFB) as part of a Brain Computer Interface can help some patients manage chronic pain by normalising maladaptive brain activity measured with electroencephalography (EEG).

Objectives: This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel home-based NFB device for managing chronic pain by modifying specific EEG activity.

Haptic Nudges Increase Affected Upper Limb Movement During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Multiple-Period Randomized Crossover Study.

Background: As many as 80% of stroke survivors experience upper limb (UL) disability. The strong relationships between disability, lost productivity, and ongoing health care costs mean reducing disability after stroke is critical at both individual and society levels. Unfortunately, the amount of UL-focused rehabilitation received by people with stroke is extremely low.
