What evidence is there that LENS works?

The following books explain the use of LENS across a number of diagnostic categories:

The Healing Power of Neurofeedback: The Revolutionary LENS Technique for Restoring Optimal Brain Function by Stephen Larsen, Ph.D.
The Neurofeedback Solution: How to Treat Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Brain Injury, Stroke, PTSD, and More by Stephen Larsen, Ph. D.

One study, specifically about LENS, is particularly important because its large sample size (N=100) lends credibility to its utility:

One hundred clients (selected randomly from over 300 cases) ranging in age from 6 to 80 had at least 10 LENS sessions each. Average symptom ratings across 15 major problem areas (e.g., anxiety, mood disturbance, attention problems, fatigue, pain, sleep problems, etc.) showed significant improvement (p<.0001) from beginning to end of treatment. Statistically significant reduction in EEG amplitudes were evident as well.
