The study population consisted of all male employees of Karoon oil and Gas Company, that were matched on educational status, sex, not suffering from acute physical and mental disorders, and other criteria considered in this research, then randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 40-sessions of neurofeedback treatment. Neurofeedback treatment was administered in experimental group 2 sessions per week for a total of 40 sessions for 45-minute per week, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Neurofeedback treatment was carried out by using of Nexuz 4 and the bio trees software. For assessment of anxiety, Zank Self-assessment scale for anxiety (S.A.S) was used. ANCOVA was used for data analysis. Results The results indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group in anxiety symptoms (p < 0.004). The rate of anxiety symptom significantly decreased in comparison with pretest and control group. These results significantly persisted after follow-up period. Discussion Neurofeedback treatment significantly decreased the anxiety in male employees of Karoon oil and Gas Company.
