Abstract

Insomnia is a sleeping problem that is experienced by many people at least once in their lifetimes. Neurofeedback training is known to be effective for treating insomnia. However, neurofeecback training for insomnia generally SMR protocol. Recently, hyperarousal theory is supported by relevance to occurrence and maintenance in insomnia. It is known that patients with insomnia have increased psychophysiological indicators such as a high Beta frequency. Despite this evidence, a beta decrease neurofeedback protocol has not yet been developed. Therefore, the objective of this study is the development of a new neurofeedback training protocol for insomnia. Several questionnaires were used for selection of participants and administration of the pre-test: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI), the Insomnia Severity Index(ISI), the Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale(PSAS), and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS). 15 participants were randomly assigned to receive beta decrease neurofeedback(n=5) or SMR increase neurofeedback(n=5) or relaxation training(n=5). Four days during the course of 2 weeks of Neurofeedback and relaxation training was performed, and the neurofeedback sessions took place 4 times a day(10min/times), for a total of 4 sessions. At the end of training, the results were assessed for the post-test, and also during a 2 week follow-up period. As a result, the PSQI, ISI, PSAS scores of beta neurofeedback group significantly decreased. To conclude, study limitations are discussed as well as suggestion for future studies.
