Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback training in the treatment of patients with eating disorder and comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder

Our results indicate better treatment outcomes in the ILF neurofeedback group with regard to global post-traumatic stress and trauma-associated avoidance as well as with regard to restraint eating and increase of body weight. Furthermore, patients who had received ILF neurofeedback training were more satisfied with their treatment than patients of the control group and were less likely to abandon the intervention or to leave the in-patient treatment prematurely. ILF neurofeedback training is very well accepted by patients and seems to provide a relevant additional benefit in terms of symptom reduction. Findings support the case for a larger study for greater statistical power.
