A study with three component parts was performed to assess the effectiveness of neurofeedback treatment for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The subject pool consisted of 23 children and adolescents ranging in age from 8 to 19 years with a mean of 11.4 years who participated in a 2- to 3-month summer program of intensive neurofeedback training. Feedback was contingent on the production of 16-20 hertz (beta) activity in the absence of 4-8 hertz (theta) activity. Posttraining changes in EEG activity, T.O.V.A. performance, (ADDES) behavior ratings, and WISC-R performance were assessed. Part I indicated that subjects who successfully decreased theta activity showed significant improvement in T.O.V.A. performance; Part II revealed significant improvement in parent ratings following neurofeedback training; and Part III indicated significant increases in WISC-R scores following neurofeedback training. This study is significant in that it examines the effects of neurofeedback training on both objective and subjective measures under relatively controlled conditions. Our findings corroborate and extend previous research, indicating that neurofeedback training can be an appropriate and efficacious treatment for children with ADHD.
一项包含三个组成部分的研究旨在评估神经反馈疗法对注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的治疗效果。受试者群体由23名儿童和青少年组成，年龄在8至19岁之间，平均年龄为11.4岁，他们参加了为期2至3个月的强化神经反馈训练暑期项目。反馈取决于在没有4至8赫兹（θ波）活动的情况下产生16至20赫兹（β波）活动。评估了训练后脑电图活动、T.O.V.A.测试表现、（ADDES）行为评分和韦氏儿童智力量表修订版（WISC-R）表现的变化。第一部分表明，成功降低θ波活动的受试者在T.O.V.A.测试表现上有显著改善；第二部分显示神经反馈训练后家长评分有显著改善；第三部分表明神经反馈训练后WISC-R分数有显著提高。这项研究的重要意义在于，它在相对可控的条件下考察了神经反馈训练对客观和主观指标的影响。我们的研究结果证实并扩展了先前的研究，表明神经反馈训练可以成为治疗ADHD儿童的一种合适且有效的方法。
