Using neurofeedback to manage long-term symptoms in cancer survivors: Results of a survey of neurofeedback providers

Some cancer survivors are turning to a variety of neurofeedback types/protocols to successfully manage their long-term symptoms. Preliminary results suggest neurofeedback may be a safe and effective therapy for cancer survivors. As the evidence supporting this novel CAM therapy grows, cancer survivors with ongoing symptoms that are not managed by conventional therapies might consider a trial of neurofeedback. Further research is needed to identify those individuals most likely to benefit from neurofeedback, and to confirm which neurofeedback types and protocols are most effective for managing long-term effects of cancer treatment.
