Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study clarified the electroencephalogram frequency pattern of a patient with Intractable-pain and conducted neuro-feedback training using auditory stimulation as feedback information, and examined the effect of intractable-pain symptoms. As a result, the implementation of auditory neuro-feedback training showed improvement in improvement of physical sensory anomalies and catastrophic thinking of pain, and it was able to recognize the effect even in 3 weeks after completion of training. The results suggest that implementation of neuro-feedback training using auditory stimulation can control the frequency of brain waves, and may be effective for improving intractable pain symptoms such as catastrophic thought of pain and abnormal physical sensation It was done.
