  • Researchers have consistently shown that individuals with schizophrenia experience cognitive impairment throughout the last few decades. Cognitive deficits cause functional impairment in patients. Neuro-feedback has been found to aid in symptom reduction as well as functional improvement. AB After being diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by a qualified psychiatrist from the outpatient department of the Institute of Mental Health and Hospital Agra, a 29-year-old man who is right-handed, a graduate, single, and from a middle socioeconomic background was referred for cognitive evaluation and rehabilitation. He currently lives with his parents in Agra.A cognitive evaluation of the patient showed impairment in executive skills, memory, and attention. For thirty sessions, six days a week, he received Neuro-feedback; each session lasted roughly twenty minutes. Significant progress was observed in all areas of social and cognitive functioning in the post-intervention scores.
