Abstract :
The effectiveness of neurofeedback on the activity of behavioral systems of patients with generalized anxiety disorder Abstract The present research with the aim the effectiveness of neurofeedback on behavioral brain systems of patients with generalized anxiety disorder was determined. This research was a semi-experimental design. The statistical population of the research was all patients with generalized anxiety who referred to the psychiatric centers of Tabriz city in 2023 and the target sample was people who had received a definitive diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. In order to collect data, behavioral brain systems scale and neurofeedback device were used for intervention. The collected data were analyzed through multivariate covariance analysis using SPSS software. The results showed that neurofeedback improves behavioral brain systems P<.01. Based on these findings, it is suggested that psychology and psychiatry centers use neurofeedback as an effective treatment to reduce the pervasive anxiety of patients. Keywords: neurofeedback, generalized anxiety disorder, behavioral brain systems
