Published September 17, 2026, an opinion and review article in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B examines neurofeedback as a possible adjunct in functional neurological disorder, or FND.
What the article contributes The authors connect network-level models of FND with neurofeedback work in motor, affective and pain-related conditions. They outline practical research needs: clearly specified neural targets, feedback modality, training dose, transfer testing, patient-centered personalization and integration with established physiotherapy.
Why it matters The value is a testable research roadmap, not evidence that neurofeedback already treats FND. Direct empirical evidence in FND remains limited, and the paper does not report a new clinical trial. EEG and fMRI neurofeedback approaches also should not be treated as interchangeable.
