Quantitative EEG measurement of the scalp vertex theta/beta ratio (TBR) is marketed as a tool for use in the evaluation of patients who may have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) recently assessed the literature about this tool. The assessment urged caution, considering that the TBR remains an investigational research tool at this time. This perspective comments further on that assessment and its rationale, and recommends a perspective for the clinician and payer.
头皮顶点θ/β比值（TBR）的定量脑电图测量作为一种工具用于评估可能患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的患者。美国神经病学学会（AAN）最近评估了有关该工具的文献。考虑到目前TBR仍是一种研究性工具，该评估敦促谨慎使用。本观点进一步评论了该评估及其基本原理，并为临床医生和付款人推荐了一种观点。
