✺ Research Overview ✺
Neurofeedback has been highly effective in treating PTSD resulting from various traumatic events such as abuse, accidents, and combat experiences.
Peniston and Kulkosky (1991)
This groundbreaking study added alpha/theta neurofeedback to traditional treatment for Vietnam combat veterans with PTSD.
At the two-and-a-half-year follow-up, the neurofeedback group showed significantly lower relapse rates and reduced medication needs compared to the traditional treatment group. Unlike the traditional treatment group, the neurofeedback group showed dramatic improvements in all 10 clinical scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
Additional studies have shown positive improvements in PTSD symptoms, including in children with histories of abuse and neglect (Huang-Storms et al., 2006), as well as in various control group studies by researchers like Bessel van der Kolk (2020), Rogel et al. (2016), McReynolds, Bell, and Lincourt (2017), Nelson and Esty (2012), and Im (2023).
