More research needed
But not all the studies of EEG neurofeedback show a positive effect. In 2003 a small study involving seven children with ADHD showed that the technique was no more effective than a placebo - a pretend treatment.
Andrea Bilbow, director of the ADHD charity ADDISS, says not enough research has been done so far: 'We speak to many parents daily on the phone and have yet to hear from parents who have chosen neurofeedback as their preferred treatment.'
