Study Summary

This pilot trial studies how well neurofeedback training works in decreasing acute radiotherapy-induced pain in patients with head and neck cancer. Neurofeedback training is a type of therapy that uses electroencephalograph and a computer software program to measure brain wave activity. Neurofeedback training may help teach patients ways to modify their own brain waves to decrease the perception of pain and improve quality of life.

Primary Outcome

The qEEG normative database is grouped by age and contains a sufficiently large sample size with means and standard deviations of the EEG time series and/or frequency domain analysis computed for each age group.
