An exciting new study was recently published that demonstrates significant reductions in symptoms of both ADHD and anxiety using dynamical (NeurOptimal) NeurOptimal Neurofeedback Systems. Researchers found that for ADHD participants, ASRS
and Vanderbilt Rating Scale scores showed a 24.1% enhancement. For anxiety participants, GAD-7 and BAI scores demonstrated a 30.6% reduction in symptom severity. The number of sessions ranged from 15-40, with a mean 25.8 number of sessions for the ADHD group and 22.1 for the Anxiety group. More info and details:
