Exploring the Impact of Nonlinear Dynamical Neurofeedback on Post-Cancer Cognitive Impairment and Cancer-Related Fatigue: Results of Interviews with Breast Cancer Survivors
Results of this qualitative descriptive study suggest that nonlinear dynamical neurofeedback had a dramatic and meaningful positive effect on persistent symptoms experienced by breast cancer survivors, without any negative side effects. Participants in our sample found the neurofeedback sessions to be enjoyable and rec- ommend that they be offered to all cancer patients. Clinical trials with larger sample sizes are needed to corrob- orate our findings. Establishing clinical effectiveness could encourage adoption of neurofeedback into routine cancer care and health insurance coverage.
Exploring the effect of neurofeedback on postcancer cognitive impairment and fatigue: A pilot feasibility study
The neurofeedback protocol was feasible and resulted in significant decreases in perceived cognitive deficits, fatigue, sleep, and psychological symptoms.
Using Neurofeedback to Manage Long-Term Symptoms in Cancer Survivors: Results of a Survey of Neurofeedback Providers
Some cancer survivors are turning to a variety of neurofeedback types/protocols to successfully manage their long-term symptoms. Preliminary results suggest neurofeedback may be a safe and effective therapy for cancer survivors.
Exploring the Use of Neurofeedback by Cancer Survivors: Results of Interviews with Neurofeedback Providers and Clients
The objective of this study was to describe the experiences of neurofeedback and its impact on the lives of posttreatment cancer survivors as perceived by neurofeedback providers and cancer survivor clients. Results support the use of neurofeedback to improve quality of life for cancer survivors; however, more research is needed to determine which neurofeedback systems and protocols are most effective for this population with persistent symptoms.
The Effect of EEG Biofeedback on Reducing Postcancer Cognitive Impairment
Data from this limited study suggest that EEG biofeedback has potential for reducing the negative cognitive and emotional sequelae of cancer treatment as well as improving fatigue and sleep patterns.
A Systematic Review of the Safety and Effect of Neurofeedback on Fatigue and Cognition
Despite issues with methodological quality, the overall positive findings and few reported side effects suggest neurofeedback could be helpful in alleviating fatigue and cognitive impairment.
