Neurofeedback interventions for obsessive-compulsive and related disorders: Current evidence and future directions
Overview
This narrative review summarizes current empirical evidence on neurofeedback interventions for obsessive-compulsive disorder, noting that while conventional EEG-NF and fMRI-NF protocols show some symptom improvement, their efficacy is constrained by heterogeneity and modest effects. The resource also introduces decoded neurofeedback (DecNef) as a potential next-generation method that may offer greater precision and personalization without explicit awareness or exposure. It discusses how DecNef might address limitations of traditional approaches and outlines future translational applications across the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders spectrum.
