Condition

Biofeedback for ADHD

Neurofeedback and biofeedback are studied across several conditions, including support for executive function and regulation. Evidence suggests benefits for autonomic nervous system function.

Evidence and practice

Biofeedback session with analysis screen and therapist-led support for self-regulation.

The literature includes randomised trials in ADHD and other conditions, often focusing on ANS function and self-regulation. Positioning as a complement to multidisciplinary care (not a replacement) is commonly recommended. Ask certified therapists about indications and protocols.

For full references, see studies & certification.

Complementary therapy. Supports self-regulation and focus; not a substitute for clinical ADHD assessment or medical treatment.

Frequently asked questions (health education)

General information; not individual medical advice.

In simple terms, neurofeedback often targets brain activity patterns; biofeedback may combine multiple signals (HRV, GSR, EEG) depending on protocol. Read neurofeedback vs biofeedback. Protocol choice is clinical.
