Five Structural Biases in Neurofeedback-for-ADHD Research: Why the Evidence Looks Weaker Than It Should

2026-04-24

Abstract excerpt

<p>Background. Neurofeedback is the most extensively studied non-pharmacological intervention forattention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The most recent meta-analysis (Westwood et al.,2025) reports no clinically meaningful group-level advantage over control conditions (SMD = 0.04).Several secondary findings in the same literature, however, do not sit comfortably with a purenull, including delayed separati...
