Clinical ILF neurofeedback with children and adolescents - Part 1

The first part of the article ‘Clinical ILF neurofeedback with children and adolescents’ has been published in the current issue of the 'forum für Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie, Psychosomatik und Psychotherapie' of the bkjpp (Professional Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy in Germany e.V.) (issue 4/2024).

Our experienced lecturers Gernot Wührer and Stephan Kolbe, both qualified psychologists, provide exciting insights into the scientific principles of neurofeedback, with a particular focus on infra-low frequency (ILF) neurofeedback. They shed light on how this method works and its potential in a therapeutic context. They then report on two practical case studies that illustrate the use of ILF neurofeedback in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The second part of the article looks at the empirical studies on neurofeedback and presents case studies on its use in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders. Another focus of the article is on the use of neurofeedback in occupational therapy and the possibilities of reimbursement by health insurance companies.
