Conclusions : This meta- analysis of EEG-NF in children with ADHD highlights improvement in the inattention dimension of ADHD symptoms .
Objective : We undertook a meta- analysis of published R and omized Controlled Trials ( RCT ) with semi-active control and sham-NF groups to determine whether Electroencephalogram-neurofeedback ( EEG-NF ) significantly improves the overall symptoms , inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity dimensions for probably unblinded assessment ( parent assessment ) and probably blinded assessment ( teacher assessment ) in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ( ADHD ) .
Low P-Values or Narrow Confidence Intervals: Which Are More Durable?
What should be the role of P-values and confidence intervals in the interpretation of scientific results ? This question is not new 1 and our field of epidemiology is far from alone in struggling with it . 2,3 I have four suggestions for authors and readers . The first is quite broad , so I offer that one before describing current practice s. I then turn to the other three . My remarks are confined to setting s in which P-values and confidence intervals accompany estimates of effect measures , such as the relative risk . Briefly , here are my suggestions . One , we should work harder than ever to avoid strict or exact interpretations of P-values and confidence intervals in observational research , where these statistics lack a theoretical basis . Two , we should stop interpreting  P-values and confidence intervals as though they measure the probability of hypotheses . Three , when we want to know the probability of hypotheses , we should use Bayesian methods , which are design ed expressly for that purpose . Four , we should get serious about precision and look for narrow confidence intervals instead of low P-values to identify results that are least influenced by r and om error
