“…One might argue that using neurofeedback is quite a timeconsuming and complex intervention. Neuropsychological poststroke interventions for cognitive rehabilitation already exist (Champod et al, 2020) and render other, more complex interventions superfluous. Amongst these is computerized training, for which, in some studies, beneficial effects were found (De Luca et al, 2018); however, a recent meta-analysis found no superiority of computer-based interventions compared to treatment as usual in cognitive rehabilitation after stroke (Mingming et al, 2022).…”

IntroductionIndividuals who have suffered a stroke may experience long-lasting cognitive impairments that can worsen if left untreated. We investigated whether voluntary control of slow cortical potentials (SCP) through neurofeedback would help alleviate chronic post-stroke symptoms of impaired attention.MethodsThe study initially enrolled twenty-eight participants, but due to a high drop-out rate, only sixteen participants completed eight SCP neurofeedback training sessions within three to four weeks. During these sessions, we gave feedback to the participants on their ability to regulate SCPs on a computer screen.ResultsOur findings showed a non-significant increase in SCP regulation towards cortical negativity. On the behavioral level, we found improved test values in the divided attention and attentional flexibility subtests of the test battery for attention performance. However, we cannot eliminate the possibility that nonspecific effects influenced or caused our results. We have not observed any improvement regarding the effects of attention deficits on participants’ daily lives. We identified five individuals who could gain SCP control successfully and consistently towards negativity. In this group of responders, we observed an improvement in the test results related to divided attention but no other attention-related improvements.DiscussionBased on our observations, results of SCP neurofeedback training for the treatment of attention deficits after a stroke are inconclusive. More research is necessary to determine the effectiveness of SCP neurofeedback in helping stroke survivors cope with attention-related challenges in their daily lives.

“…Thus, there remains equipoise with regard to the integration of this technology for cognitive benefit. Overwhelmingly, studies have focused on feasibility and failed to generate sufficient information to compare effects with either traditional rehabilitation or spontaneous recovery [ 73 ]. As systems become more affordable and commercially available, this is certain to be an area of continued inquiry (e.g., NCT04441177 and NCT05283369).…”

Purpose of Review Stroke is a common cause of disability in aging adults. A given individual’s needs after stroke vary as a function of the stroke extent and location. The purpose of this review was to discuss recent clinical investigations addressing rehabilitation of an array of overlapping functional domains. Recent Findings Research is ongoing in the domains of movement, cognition, attention, speech, language, swallowing, and mental health. To best assist patients’ recovery, innovative research has sought to develop and evaluate behavioral approaches, identify and refine synergistic approaches that augment the response to behavioral therapy, and integrate technology where appropriate, particularly to introduce and titrate real-world complexity and improve the overall experience of therapy. Summary Recent and ongoing trials have increasingly adopted a multidisciplinary nature — augmenting refined behavioral therapy approaches with methods for increasing their potency, such as pharmaceutical or electrical interventions. The integration of virtual reality, robotics, and other technological advancements has generated immense excitement, but has not resulted in consistent improvements over more universally accessible, lower technology therapy.
