Exploring expectations of neurofeedback treatment among trauma-affected refugees

CONCLUSION: The findings show that NF treatment for trauma affected refugees was challenged by difficulties in communicating the message about the NF equipment capabilities as well as the expected treatment outcome. These challenges included e.g. health professionals' ability to explain and the participants' cultural frame of reference. This is consistent with previous research, showing that compared to the native population, the dissemination of health information to refugees is more difficult and comprehensive. Further studies on how to ensure mutual understanding of the content of NF and expected treatment outcome are needed.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05055037.
