Abstract

Background: Alzheimer�s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatment options. Neurofeedback, a technique that trains brainwaves, has shown promise in addressing cognitive impairments. Objectives: To conduct a bibliometric analysis to explore the current research on neurofeedback as a treatment for AD. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed based on PRISMA guidelines on 142 papers. Different bibliometric parameters like the author�s country, author names, keywords, journal names, and country of citations were analyzed, and a network visualization chart was generated to understand the correlation of Alzheimer-related search terms to neurofeedback. Results: Research is concentrated in Europe and North America, with a significant gap in Asian countries. A growing body of evidence supports the potential benefits of neurofeedback for AD. A strong correlation has been found between neurofeedback and AD-related terms. Clinical trials suggest positive outcomes for neurofeedback in improving cognitive impairments and working memory. Conclusion: Neurofeedback shows promise as a potential treatment for AD. Further research and clinical studies are needed to explore the full potential of neurofeedback for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with AD. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
