Effectiveness of Electroencephalographic Neurofeedback for Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Authors: von Altdorf LAWR, Bracewell M, Cooke A.

Abstract Summary

EEG neurofeedback effectively modulates brain activity in Parkinson’s patients (large effect size, high certainty), but its impact on motor symptoms remains unclear. This systematic review of 11 studies found successful cortical modulation doesn’t consistently translate to improved movement, though patients respond well to treatment and may experience benefits not captured by standard assessments.

Why Brain? 🧠

EEG neurofeedback effectively modifies brain activity in Parkinson’s patients but doesn’t clearly improve motor symptoms, suggesting more research needed to determine its clinical value as a non-drug treatment.
