Neurofeedback is supported as an effective therapy for many different psychiatric complications by multiple studies across various disciplines. Most of these studies are conducted in clinical settings, and therefore model the benefits of coming to Sacramento’s Brain Health Clinic for your therapy sessions. For some of our clients, however, traveling on a regular basis to the clinic is inconvenient or even impossible. In these cases, the Brain Health Clinic offers remote neurofeedback therapy via portable technology that operates over the Internet. Is such remote therapy supported by the scientific literature?
Research on Remote Neurofeedback
A research study published in 2022 by European Child & Adolescent Psychiatry trained 121 families to use remote neurofeedback devices. 80 families actually completed the project, and the outcome was positive. According to the researchers: “The results confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of home-based digital training.”
This study was followed up by another paper published in December of 2023, featuring an international group of researchers from China, Australia, and the Netherlands. These scientists described “remote interventions” as a “promising approach to developing new treatments”, specifically for ADHD. This and similar studies highlight the fact that remote technologies are rapidly improving and clinicians, such as those at the Brain Health Clinic, are finding ways to benefit their clients through the use of these tools.
As an example of the amount of research in this specific field alone, a 2022 review study from Brazil examined over 1200 articles that discuss the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Half the articles specifically examined neurofeedback, and ten percent of them (more than 120) related the effects of remote therapy. Obviously, this is an accepted technique that is undergoing continuous improvement for the benefit of psychiatric patients.
