EEG biofeedback as a complementary method for treatment of patients with anxiety disorders Original article
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to answer the question whether EEG-biofeedback is the effective treatment for anxiety disorders. It was found that such a treatment may decrease anxiety, improve attention, and lower stress level. These results suggest that EEG-biofeedback can be a complementary therapeutic method to pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy.
