April 06, 2020 — Neurofeedback treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) demonstrate medium to large effect sizes and remission rates between 32% and 47%, according to a study published online in the journal Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
“[S]tandard neurofeedback protocols in the treatment of ADHD can be concluded to be a well-established treatment, or ‘efficacious and specific’ in line with the American Psychological Association guidelines,” researchers wrote.

At NCI, we use a variety of neuroimaging techniques to assess the structure and physiology of the brain. For many patients, a structural MRI of the brain is necessary as part of the neurodiagnostic process. Unlike most centers that rely on the radiologist’s interpretation of the scan, at NCI, our neuroradiologist’s use quantitative MRI software. Learn more about neuromodulation at NCI.
