Key findings

  • Cites evidence that EMG (muscle) biofeedback is effective for tension headache and chronic back pain
  • Cites a meta-analysis of 15 ADHD neurofeedback studies reporting large effects on impulsivity and inattention and medium effects on hyperactivity
  • Describes comparing a client's QEEG with healthy norms to guide training
  • Presents neurofeedback as an alternative or complement to medication for children with ADHD

A German-language introduction to neurofeedback for occupational therapists, written by a practicing therapist. It explains biofeedback and neurofeedback as learning through feedback about one's own physiological signals, describes how QEEG compares a client's frequency amplitudes and coherences with a healthy reference group, and outlines how sessions work in practice. Citing earlier research, including a meta-analysis on ADHD, the author presents neurofeedback as an evidence-based option, particularly for children with ADHD.
