This research study aims to test whether EEG neurofeedback, a form of biofeedback, can reduce neuropathic pain.

​​

Evidence from previous studies suggests that chronic neuropathic pain is associated with abnormal electrical brain activity. Neurofeedback has been used to reduce pain by aiming to regulate these abnormal EEG frequencies thought to be responsible for the ongoing experience of pain.

​

By interacting with a computer game while wearing an EEG headset to record your brain activity, we will trial whether people with chronic neuropathic pain can learn to gain control over their brain activity in a way that reduces their pain.

If you participate, you will receive an EEG neurofeedback system to self-administer at home, and you will be required to complete 20 sessions of EEG neurofeedback, each made up of 5x2.5-minute rounds at home over 4 weeks. 

You will also be asked to complete online questionnaires at several timepoints, and provide daily ratings of your pain intensity and how much it interferes with your activities.
