Biofeedback training


 

References

I enjoyed reading “The re-emerging role of therapeutic neuromodulation” (Current Psychiatry, November 2010, p. 6674), which is an informative summary of neuromodulation in psychiatric practice. I was surprised and disappointed, however, that there was no mention of electroencephalogram biofeedback training. Increasing numbers of controlled studies have demonstrated its effectiveness.1-3 It seems as if psychiatry is interested only in invasive approaches.
