Neurofeedback Effect on Symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Neurofeedback was more efficacious for complex-trauma than single-event PTSD.

Longer and more frequent sessions were found to be more efficacious than shorter, less frequent ones.

Trauma patients improved on arousal, anxiety, depression, and intrusive, numbing, and suicidal ideation.

Alpha-theta neurofeedback achieved the largest effect sizes.

Neurofeedback effect sizes were insignificant for effect size was insignificant for re-experiencing PTSD events, affect regulation, and subjective control.
