Considerable scientific effort has been directed at developing effective treatments for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Among alternative treatment approaches, electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback has gained promising empirical support in recent years. Short-term effects were shown to be comparable to those of stimulant medication at the behavioral and neuropsychological level, leading to significant decreases of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. In addition, EEG biofeedback results in concomitant improvement of neurophysiological patterns. EEG biofeedback may already be used within a multimodal setting, providing affected children and adolescents with a means of learning to counterbalance their ADHD symptoms without side effects. However, there is still a strong need for more empirically and methodologically sound evaluation studies.
相当多的科学研究致力于开发治疗注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的有效方法。在替代治疗方法中，近年来脑电图（EEG）生物反馈获得了有前景的实证支持。短期效果显示在行为和神经心理学层面与兴奋剂药物相当，可显著减少注意力不集中、多动和冲动。此外，EEG生物反馈能同时改善神经生理模式。EEG生物反馈可能已在多模式环境中使用，为受影响的儿童和青少年提供一种学习应对其ADHD症状且无副作用的方法。然而，仍迫切需要更多基于实证且方法合理的评估研究。
