EEG biofeedback in clinical praxis

The authors would like to refer to the significance of EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) therapy in treating ADHD as the most frequent and best validated indication. Although the medical treatment of ADHD disorders was historically the only effective intervention in reducing the main symptoms, there are about 25 % of no responders. Therefore the need has arisen to offer these children other biological appro aches in the treatment of this serious disorder, since the disorder is not manageable only by pedagogical – psychological interventions.
