Conclusions regarding EEG biofeedback (Neurofeedback)

"Research suggests benefits of peripheral forms of biofeedback for children and adolescents, particularly for headache (tension type and migraine), asthma, enuresis, and rehabilitation applications, as well as EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Positive evidence for other indications (eg, insomnia, chronic pain syndromes, and anxiety disorders) exists but is not conclusive. Biofeedback applications for the treatment of functional gastrointestinal tract disorders is an area of particular promise. Biofeedback offers a particularly attractive form of self-regulation for today’s youth, given their interest in and comfort with technology. There are no significant contraindications to the use of biofeedback."
