Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
