Pretreatment Clinical Assessment for Neurofeedback

Pretreatment Clinical Assessment is a practitioner-only neurofeedback intake decision tool for clinicians considering treatment. It helps organize presenting problems, baseline functioning, relevant risks or constraints, and scope considerations before the practitioner decides whether and how to proceed.

Practitioner Interpretation

The tool organizes pretreatment information and surfaces completeness or practitioner-entered concerns. It does not make diagnostic or treatment eligibility decisions.

Baseline For Later Comparison

The preserved baseline profile can later support comparison with treatment response in separate outcome tools.

Partial Profiles

Missing presenting problems or baseline functioning should keep the profile marked incomplete so the practitioner does not over-rely on unfinished information.

Does this tool decide whether neurofeedback is indicated?

No. It organizes information that supports practitioner decision-making, but the practitioner remains responsible for interpretation.

Is QEEG data part of this assessment?

No. QEEG data are not part of this tool unless handled by a separate assessment tool.

Can risks or constraints be flagged?

Yes. Practitioner-entered risks or constraints can be surfaced in the review summary.

Does the tool create a neurofeedback protocol?

No. It is a pretreatment assessment profile, not a protocol generator.
