Key findings
- Neurofeedback outperformed the attention-training control on parent and teacher ratings
- Medium effect size (0.60) on the main parent-rated ADHD scale
- The two protocols worked about equally well; parents' expectations did not differ between groups
A multisite randomized controlled trial comparing neurofeedback with a computerised attention-skills training in children with ADHD. Children who received neurofeedback, combining theta/beta and slow cortical potential training, improved more on parent and teacher ratings. Related papers by the same group report the EEG effects and a six-month follow-up.
