Participants need to meet the following inclusion criteria: (1) a diagnosis of neuropathic eye pain based on clinical history, ocular and non-ocular pain symptoms, and structure and function of the corneal nerves, (2) neuropathic eye pain persisting for longer than 6 months, (3) average pain rating = or more than 3 over the last seven days (out of 10) on the Numerical Rating Scale (0 reflecting no pain and 10 reflecting maximum pain), (4) fluent in speaking and reading English, (5) not currently undergoing any changes to current eye pain treatment or eye procedures and (6) able to fully participate in the EEG neurofeedback intervention and is willing to complete all 20 sessions over the four-week intervention period.

•The key exclusion criteria are as follows: (1) diagnosis of a severe neurodegenerative and/or psychiatric disorder, (2) average pain rating < 3 over the last seven days (out of 10) on the Numerical Rating Scale (0 reflecting no pain and 10 reflecting maximum pain), (3) eye pain limiting prolonged exposure to digital screens for 20 minutes (comprises approximately one session of EEG neurofeedback), (4) individuals unable to complete twenty consecutive days of EEG neurofeedback treatment and (5) individuals located outside of Australia.
