Washington Post writer, Katherine Ellison, is on a roll with generally positive coverage of neurofeedback. BMED Report previously informed our readers of the call for more strict oversight of persons who offer neurotherapy in “The Washington Post Calls For Increased Regulation Of Neurofeedback.” In her follow-up neurofeedback-related article, she reports that a “study may show whether neurofeedback helps people with ADHD and other disorders.”
Ms. Ellison points out that the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will sponsor the first federally funded, peer-reviewed neurofeedback study. She also gives readers a window into her motivation to provide neurofeedback with much attention; she states that “Disclosure: Based on my own experience, I share Gibbons’s enthusiasm. My son and I have both been given diagnoses of ADHD, and I believe that our simultaneous neurofeedback sessions last year helped us survive his middle school.”
The story includes testimonials from other parents who describe their positive experiences with neurotherapy, a basic description of a neurofeedback session and cost, and the need for additional research. Ms. Ellison states that the results of the ongoing NIHM neurofeedback study should be published by next summer. Let us hope so!
