A recent MTA study concluded that medication and counseling were not effective in changing the symptoms of ADD/ADHD in an eight year follow up study. EEG biofeedback has consistently demonstrated significant and powerful changes in clinical groups and is currently recommended by six professional organizations for ADD/ADHD and other clinical conditions.
