Neurofeedback as neuroempowerment technique for affective regulation and interoceptive awareness in adolescence: preliminary considerations applied to a psychogenic pseudosyncope case.
Michela Balconi, Laura Angioletti, Davide Crivelli
PMID 37456793WHAT IT FOUND
This paper proposes a neurofeedback protocol for a single adolescent with psychogenic pseudosyncope but reports no outcomes.
It is a theoretical framework for future testing, not evidence that the intervention works or changes clinical practice.
What this paper is
This paper presents theoretical considerations and a proposed intervention protocol for a single case of psychogenic pseudosyncope in an adolescent. It describes how neurofeedback might be applied but reports no outcomes, no follow-up data, and no comparison group. Because it does not present evidence of efficacy or safety, there are no findings to act on clinically.
What it does not show
The paper describes a protocol for a single case without reporting any results or follow-up data. The authors explicitly state that systematic empirical testing is needed to assess potential efficacy.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret the detailed protocol description as evidence that neurofeedback treats psychogenic pseudosyncope or affective dysregulation in adolescents. The paper reports no outcomes and calls for future testing.
