This secondary analysis technical report uses quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) neurofeedback to treat brain fog, a group of cognitive challenges such as sluggish thinking, memory lapses, confusion, and poor focus, often observed in long COVID. In the original case report, 34-year-old female patient was administered approximately 15 sessions Z-score neurofeedback. Pretest post-test training qEEG reported significant declines high-beta activity, i.e., beta, Hi beta 1, 3, notable increases alpha theta brainwaves. These improvements were most evident at electrode sites C4, F3, P3. The improved attention memory, reduced anxiety, less pain, although depression reduction less. results suggest that relatively short program can assist shifting from hyperarousal calmer, more efficient state. may potentially offer non-pharmacological method for treating constant post-COVID fog. Additional studies are necessary validate these findings.
