Near-infrared Spectroscopy-based Neurofeedback as Adjunct to Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement in Persons With Chronic Pain
Status: Completed
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other, Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The primary aim of this pilot trial is to enhance the efficacy of the Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) intervention by adding neurofeedback (NF) of the Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) as an adjunct to the savoring component of MORE. We hypothesize that the use of NF to train OFC responses during savoring will amplify patients' ability to savor and thereby increase brain responsivity to natural rewards; such enhanced reward responding will in turn be associated with improvements in clinical outcomes (e.g., pain, analgesic use).
