A friend of mine observed that a local physician is now offering
Neuro feedback for ADHD, perhaps to train the brain to experience a
different ratio of alpha to theta wave states leading to less
hyperactivity and inattention. This physician has written a book about
this treatment
approach, suggesting that science has  yet to catch up to this
innovative approach.

I observed that controlled outcome studies assessing the effectiveness
of such a treatment would not be difficult to conduct, but was not aware

of any support for this approach to treating ADHD.

I did a literature search and except for biofeedback journals (one in
particular called Neurotherapy) I found no review or even outcome
studies in good clinical journals.

I was curious if anyone has more knowledge of
this neurofeedback treatment for ADHD and evidence for effectiveness?

my thanks,

Bob Hill
