There are different and sometimes contradictory findings about the effectiveness of neurofeedback for hyperactives. For example, a 2011 study suggested that neurofeedback may have a placebo effect ( source ). A placebo is a substance or treatment designed to have no therapeutic value. This research was done after 30 neurofeedback sessions. Another 2016 study ( source ) found that there was insufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of neurofeedback as an effective treatment for hyperactivity. Of course, there are also studies that have stated that this method may be effective for this disorder. But these surveys had a design flaw. Flaws in a study can make it difficult to prove that a technique is effective. In general, most researchers have criticized neurofeedback as a money-making scam.

Robert Thibault, a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Meta-Research Innovation at Stanford University, is one such skeptic. Speaking to the New York Times (source), he says: “Neurofeedback supporters point to research with {impressive results}, but most of these studies are not consistent with the double-blind method.” A method that is a type of clinical trial in which neither the participants nor the researcher know which treatment they will receive. He adds: “This method (neurofeedback) is more like a placebo.” He suggests that the treatment’s low success may be related to the “therapeutic environment” that clinicians create in their clinics, rather than the procedure itself. Also, according to the New York Times, most companies sell expensive neurofeedback devices directly to clinics and completely avoid testing them.
