To evaluate the efficacy of EEG neurofeedback (EEG-NF) combined with pharmacological treatment on positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web Science, Cochrane, Embase databases until January 25, 2025. Literature quality was assessed using PEDro CRED-NF checklists. Meta-analysis publication bias tests performed RevMan 5.4.1 Stata 18.0, respectively, evidence evaluated via GRADEpro. Fourteen studies (1371 patients) included. EEG-NF significantly improved (SMD=-0.87) (SMD=-1.28). Subgroup analysis showed greater improvement patients aged ≥45 years (positive: SMD=-1.05; negative: SMD=-1.64). For symptoms, better outcomes observed intervention periods ≥8 weeks, frequency ≥4 times/week, disease duration ≥5 (SMD=-1.04, -0.94, -0.94). seen <5 (SMD=-1.34, -1.68, -1.26). Mental emotional disorders regimens targeting sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) beta waves significant both (SMD=-0.98) (SMD=-1.49). effectively improves schizophrenia symptoms. A regimen sessions/week for SMR waves, is recommended. However, may limit generalizability findings. Future research should prioritize larger-scale, multicenter to long-term mechanisms. www.crd.york.ac.uk, identifier CRD42024593505.

Background: Sleep disturbances are a core feature of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), affecting up to 90% patients and often persisting after standard PTSD treatment. As all the current interventions have limitations, amygdala-targeted neuromodulation may offer novel treatment pathway. Methods: Secondary analysis prospective, single-arm trial (n = 58) was carried out evaluating Prism™ amygdala-derived-EEG-fMRI-Pattern neurofeedback (Amyg-EFP-NF). outcomes were assessed using Clinician-Administered Scale (CAPS-5) sleep item, Checklist (PCL-5) Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) items at baseline, post-treatment, 3-month follow-up. Treatment consisted 15 sessions over 8 weeks. Results: At 3-months’ follow-up, 63.79% participants demonstrated clinically meaningful reduction in (≥1 point CAPS-5 Item 20). improvement showed moderate correlation with overall symptom (r 0.484, p < 0.001) balanced pattern (−15.1% early, −9.1% late). responders sustained across multiple measures significant increases cognitive reappraisal (mean change: +2.57 ± 1.0, 0.006), while non-responders initial but un-sustained trauma-related dreams. Conclusions: Amyg-EFP-NF shows preliminary promise for treating PTSD-related disturbances. Our exploratory analyses suggest distinct temporal patterns potential associations enhanced capacity that warrant rigorous investigation future randomized controlled trials.

Abstract Background Neurofeedback (NF) has emerged as a promising neuromodulation therapy in psychiatry, offering real-time feedback to help patients self-regulate brain activity. Over the past decade, NF applications across psychiatric disorders have been extensively studied. Objective We systematically reviewed research psychiatry (2015–2025), including all study types, evaluate clinical outcomes, mechanisms, training protocols, and neuroimaging findings ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia. Methods A comprehensive literature search identified studies using EEG, fMRI, or other modalities. included randomized trials, open-label studies, case series, meta-analyses. Data on symptom neurophysiological measures were synthesized. Results Across was generally associated with improvements. In trials meta-analyses report moderate improvements attention impulsivity that often persist at follow-up. Depression EEG fMRI show reductions, though sample sizes remain modest. Anxiety-spectrum demonstrate significant meta-analytic effect nearing one standard deviation. PTSD shows robust evidence, meta-analysis of 17 supporting sustained Schizophrenia suggest can reduce positive negative symptoms, particularly SMR beta protocols. Neuroimaging confirms NF-induced activity connectivity changes paralleling Conclusions durable benefits minimal adverse effects, its potential an adjunctive treatment. However, methodological variability warrants further rigorous optimizing controls, mechanistic investigations.
