Highlights • Double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial of alpha-rhythm NFB.• PTSD severity decreased in the experimental group only, comparison to sham ns.• Evidence of normalized of DMN and SN connectivity post-treatment.• Decreased PTSD severity and NFB performance correlated to SN and DMN changes.• After treatment, 61.1% of experimental group no longer met criteria for PTSD.
