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 ) .
Computer-Based Attention Training in the Schools for Children With Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Preliminary Trial
Objective . This study examined the efficacy of 2 computer-based training systems to teach children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) to attend more effectively . Design / methods . A total of 41 children with ADHD from 2 middle schools were r and omly assigned to receive 2 sessions a week at school of either neurofeedback ( NF ) or attention training through a st and ard computer format ( SCF ) , either immediately or after a 6-month wait ( waitlist control group ) . Parents , children , and teachers completed question naires pre- and postintervention . Results . Primary parents in the NF condition reported significant ( P < .05 ) change on Conners ’s Rating Scales — Revised ( CRS-R ) and Behavior Assessment Scales for Children ( BASC ) subscales ; and in the SCF condition , they reported significant ( P < .05 ) change on the CRS-R Inattention scale and ADHD index , the BASC Attention Problems Scale , and on the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning ( BRIEF ) . Conclusion . This r and omized control trial provides preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of computer-based interventions for ADHD and supports the feasibility of offering them in a school setting
