Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Online Neurofeedback
This intervention entails online feedback of pain-related neuronal oscillation power, and will be visualized to the individual for patient training purposes and for the eventual self-control of this brain activity.
Neurofeedback
The patients will receive neurofeedback on pain related brain-activity, and through training, learn to control said brain-activity.
Online Sham Neurofeedback
This intervention entails online sham feedback of non-pain related neuronal oscillation power, and will be visualized to the individual for patient training purposes and for the eventual self-control of this brain activity.
Sham
The patients will receive sham neurofeedback on non-pain related brain-activity, and through training, learn to control said brain-activity.

Neurofeedback
The patients will receive neurofeedback on pain related brain-activity, and through training, learn to control said brain-activity.
Sham
