What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study explores whether a sham (fake) neurofeedback system in virtual reality can change brain activity related to attention. About 35 adults with rumination or chronic pain will undergo EEG recordings while experiencing positive, negative, or no feedback. The goal is to see if open-loop feedback can modulate alpha brain waves, potentially aiding attentional control.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will include adults aged between 18 and 60 years, selected from the city of Paraná and surrounding areas. The population will be balanced in terms of age and gender, ensuring representation across two age groups (18-40 years and 41-60 years). Participants will be recruited through: * Word-of-mouth. * Social media platforms. * University mailing lists and community boards. Initial contact will be made via telephone or email, where potential participants will be provided with detailed information about the study's purpose, procedures, and eligibility criteria. Recruitment materials and communications will describe the study as a conventional neurofeedback experiment to maintain participant naivety about the specific hypotheses and experimental conditions.
