Summary

This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback in 56 adults with stable heart disease and anxiety. Participants learn to control a brain region linked to stress while exposed to cold pain. The goal is to see if real training lowers heart rate more than a sham version, potentially offering a drug-free way to ease stress on the heart.
