Neurofeedback and Well-Being Among People With Co-Occurring Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms
Purpose
The proposed study will collect novel data evaluating the feasibility of a neurofeedback training program delivered to prospective clients with a history of clinically concerning trauma-related mental health symptoms who are on a wait list to receive obsessive compulsive disorder-specific psychotherapy at an outpatient mental health clinic. This study will evaluate the influence of neurofeedback training on participant's overall sense of well-being, and additionally, whether any enhanced well-being is subsequently associated with positive changes in symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, dissociation and other trauma-related mental health symptoms, emotional regulation, etc.
