The difficulty with studies are that a) they are expensive b) if they ask the wrong question it may appear like there is no difference to placebo where there might be an effect [ I see this in the neurofeedback research] and c) the studies are typically small and hard to generalize.

Sometimes the most compelling research is that by consensus. When people have tried something and there are consistent reports of its effect, then it might mean something. The problem with this is bias, of course. If the individuals being treated or the people treating have a vested interest in the outcome, then it taints the process. Disclosure is the hardest thing to sort out because non-academic institutional research doesn’t necessarily have to follow the same ethical protocols.
