This study examined the efficacy of biofeedback and Ritalin treatments on hyperactivity as reflected by muscular electrical activity and as observed by teachers and parents. Eighteen male subjects between the ages of 10 and 13 were assigned to three groups, matched by age, IQ, and race. One group received 10 biofeedback sessions, another received Ritalin, and the third group controlled for nonspecific treatment effects. EMG readings, the Conners Teacher Rating Scale, the Werry-Weiss-Peters Scale, and the Zukow Parent Rating Scale were used to measure treatment efficacy. Results indicated that biofeedback-assisted relaxation significantly reduced muscle tension levels, whereas neither Ritalin nor personal attention produced significant change. On teacher ratings of hyperactivity, significant improvement was made by all three groups. Parent ratings on the Zukow scale indicated significant improvement by subjects in all groups. On the Werry-Weiss-Peters scale, the biofeedback and control groups made significant improvements in hyperactivity.
本研究通过肌肉电活动反映的多动情况以及教师和家长观察到的多动情况，考察了生物反馈和利他林治疗对多动的疗效。18名年龄在10至13岁之间的男性受试者被分为三组，根据年龄、智商和种族进行匹配。一组接受10次生物反馈治疗，另一组接受利他林治疗，第三组作为非特异性治疗效果的对照组。采用肌电图读数、康纳斯教师评定量表、韦里-韦斯-彼得斯量表和祖科夫家长评定量表来测量治疗效果。结果表明，生物反馈辅助放松显著降低了肌肉紧张程度，而利他林和个人关注均未产生显著变化。在教师对多动的评定中，三组均有显著改善。祖科夫量表上家长的评定表明所有组的受试者都有显著改善。在韦里-韦斯-彼得斯量表上，生物反馈组和对照组在多动方面有显著改善。
