Comparative StudyNeurofeedback for children with ADHD: a comparison of SCP and Theta/Beta protocols.
Behavioral and cognitive improvements in children with ADHD have been consistently reported after neurofeedback-treatment. However, neurofeedback has not been commonly accepted as a treatment for ADHD. This study addresses previous methodological shortcomings while comparing a neurofeedback-training of Theta-Beta frequencies and training of slow cortical potentials (SCPs). ⋯ Parents and teachers reported significant behavioral and cognitive improvements. Clinical effects for both groups remained stable six months after treatment. Groups did not differ in behavioural or cognitive outcome.

Randomized Controlled TrialTargeting pCO(2) in asthma: pilot evaluation of a capnometry-assisted breathing training.
This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of a novel biofeedback breathing training for achieving sustained increases in pCO(2) levels. ⋯ Our pilot intervention provided evidence for the feasibility of pCO(2)-biofeedback training in asthma patients.
