Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of neurofeedback interventions on pain intensity, stress levels, and other related outcomes.
Comprehensive review of studies utilizing real-time fMRI and EEG for neurofeedback interventions.
Focus on primary outcomes like pain intensity and stress levels and secondary outcomes such as quality of life, anxiety, and neurophysiological markers.
NFB interventions showed varying impacts on pain intensity and stress levels.
Secondary outcomes included improvements in quality of life and reductions in anxiety/depression based on different studies.
Neurophysiological markers were assessed but specific outcomes were not detailed.

Implication

Comprehensive review evaluates neurofeedback effectiveness in modulating pain and stress in cancer, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of NFB interventions on primary outcomes (pain intensity and stress levels), as well as secondary outcomes (quality of life, anxiety/depression, neurophysiological markers, and adverse events)
