What the Research says about Neurofeedback

Most people find neurofeedback because a friend or therapist says,“You should try this.” And the next thought is usually: Okay… but what is it, and does it actually help?
A recent clinical study followed over 100 real people—kids, teens, and adults—who trained with NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, the same system we use at Balanced Brains and Bodies. Participants were working on things like ADHD, focus, emotional regulation, anxiety, and stress.
Over time, many reported improvements in concentration, calmer stress responses, and better sleep. Changes often showed up sooner for anxiety and children, while focus and attention tended to build more gradually.
One interesting takeaway? Improvements weren’t tied to a specific diagnosis. ADHD and anxiety showed similar benefits, which supports what we see every day—NeurOptimal isn’t targeting symptoms, it’s supporting the brain’s ability to regulate itself.
In practice, we consistently see more steadiness, less reactivity, improved focus, and greater resilience under stress. Neurofeedback isn’t a magic fix or a replacement for therapy or medication, but it can be a gentle, non-invasive way to support the nervous system.
If you’re wondering whether neurofeedback might be a good fit for you or your child, we’d love to talk. You’re welcome to schedule a consultation or simply reach out with questions—no pressure, just a conversation.
