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 ) .
EEG correlates of methylphenidate response among children with ADHD: a preliminary report
BACKGROUND Recent electrophysiologic studies have found fairly consistent differences between children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) and age-matched control subjects . The present study examined electroencephalogram ( EEG ) changes associated with a double blind , placebo-controlled administration of methylpheni date among children with ADHD . METHODS Subjects were 10 children , ages 8 to 13 , with a primary diagnosis of ADHD .  Brain electrical activity was recorded with 7 electrodes in the frontal , central , and midline areas during baseline and cognitive activation conditions . RESULTS Repeated- measures ANOVAs indicate that children exhibiting a positive medication response had reductions of theta and alpha as well as increased beta in the frontal regions , while nonresponders showed the opposite pattern ( p < .05 ) . Significant correlations between improvement on a vigilance task and changes in beta activity in the frontal electrodes emerged as well . CONCLUSIONS These preliminary findings indicate that there are different electrophysiologic correlates to methylpheni date among ADHD children who are medication responders and nonresponders
