Neurofeedback and autism

IntenseWorld

Just wondered why the NHS is advising against Neurofeedback when there are research articles saying it is very beneficial to autistic people?

I would have thought if it was a question of cost it wouldn't mention it at all as not many people have heard of neurofeedback and to my knowledge it's not even available on the NHS.  It appears to be listed along with potentially harmful therapies such as chelation.  Just wondered why.

  • The scientific research is out there on neurofeedback already, as you will see if you do a search.  Therefore you are mistaken if you label it quackery without reading further.

    Wikipedia is not a reliable source, it can be edited by all and sundry and is prone to bias.

    I was asking only about neurofeedback not chelation or vaccination, as I think my post clearly illustrates.
