  Neurophysiological signatures and neurofeedback-based modulation of neuropathic pain in chronic musculoskeletal conditions

  Neuropathic pain is a type of chronic pain caused by damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. It occurs when damaged nerve fibres send incorrect signals to the brain, leading to sensations such as burning, stabbing, electric shocks, tingling, or numbness. This research explores how the brain has become altered in people with neuropathic pain and tests a promising, non-invasive therapy: EEG neurofeedback. The goal is to develop a brain training programme for those with chronic pain to improve symptoms and potentially create long-term pain relief.
