The application of electroencephalogram (EEG) biofeedback with reading disability and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is relatively recent. There are many studies regarding the effectiveness (improving attention and IQ scores) of EEG biofeedback in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, who are known to have a high rate of comorbidity for learning disabilities. This suggests the possibility that EEG biofeedback specifically aimed at remediating reading disability and TBI would be effective. This article provides strong initial support for this idea and provides reason to believe that assessment and training under task conditions are likely to be fruitful. Given the significance of these problems and the absence of very effective alternatives for remediation of these conditions, efforts to complete the needed research seem warranted. Clinical use of this intervention seems to be warranted with informed consent.
脑电图(EEG)生物反馈在阅读障碍和创伤性脑损伤(TBI)中的应用相对较新。有许多关于EEG生物反馈对注意力缺陷多动障碍患者有效性(提高注意力和智商分数)的研究,已知该障碍患者学习障碍的共病率很高。这表明专门针对纠正阅读障碍和TBI的EEG生物反馈可能有效的可能性。本文为这一观点提供了有力的初步支持,并提供了理由相信在任务条件下进行评估和训练可能会有成效。鉴于这些问题的重要性以及缺乏非常有效的治疗这些病症的替代方法,开展所需研究的努力似乎是必要的。在获得知情同意的情况下,这种干预措施的临床应用似乎是合理的。
