Neurofeedback and Neural Plasticity of Self-Processing and Affect Regulation Circuits in Suicide Attempting Adolescents
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating neurofeedback training involving dACC and neurofeedback training involving amygdala for Suicide, Attempted and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 157 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A non invasive treatment study including participants at risk for suicide attempts and undergoing neurofeedback training. Neurofeedback is controlling your brain activity in real time inside the scanner.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants are pseudorandomized to the dACC group to undergo neurofeedback (NF). NF training consists of four \~7.33 min NF training runs preceded by a 5 min baseline (no NF) and followed by a 5 min transfer run (no NF). Training entails NF blocks paired to a self-happy face along a bar that indicates changing levels of the dACC. During the control condition, participants will count backward (CB) from 100 cued by an unfamiliar happy face with no NF. During rest conditions, participants see the cue "Rest" and are asked to relax with their eyes open. During NF, participants will try to increase dACC neural activity by recalling happy memories. The colored bar indicating the neural activity will shift up or down depending on values provided by Turbo-BrainVoyager software. Green = Activity \> baseline and red = Activity \< baseline. Before and after NF training, suicide ideation severity, depression severity, and performance on self-processing behavioral tasks will be assessed.
Participants are pseudorandomized to the rAMY group to undergo neurofeedback (NF). NF training consists of four \~7.33 min NF training runs preceded by a 5 min baseline (no NF) and followed by a 5 min transfer run (no NF). Training entails NF blocks paired to a self-happy face along a bar that indicates changing levels of the rAMY. During the control condition, participants will count backward (CB) from 100 cued by an unfamiliar happy face with no NF. During rest conditions, participants see the cue "Rest" and are asked to relax with their eyes open. During NF, participants will try to increase rAMY neural activity by recalling happy memories. The colored bar indicating the neural activity will shift up or down depending on values provided by Turbo-BrainVoyager software. Green = Activity \> baseline and red = Activity \< baseline. Before and after NF training, suicide ideation severity, depression severity, and performance on self-processing behavioral tasks will be assessed.
