Neurofeedback offers a non-invasive treatment alternative for retraining brainwave patterns, with research supporting its effectiveness for uncontrolled epilepsy, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, alcoholism, and PTSD.
Neurofeedback may warrant cautious exploration in refractory cases; leaves open confirmation of efficacy in rigorous randomized trials.
The following articles summarize several areas of research in neurofeedback and quantitative EEG (QEEG). While the articles are not comprehensive of all research in these areas, these articles provide professionals and parents with a summary of research in neurofeedback and QEEG. Clinicians may want to use these articles to create their own office pamphlets that contain less information and are more concise. Alternatively, these articles can be provided as educational material for potential referral sources or clients.
