Neurofeedback has proved to be effective in treating Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in experimental settings. This study investigates whether neurofeedback can be used as a therapeutic intervention in regular outpatient care. The investigators compare high frequent neurofeedback with high frequent self-management therapy and suppose that both result in comparable effects.
