This was a multiple-case study of neurofeedback (NF) treatments of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The research investigated the effects on (a) physiological and behavioral functioning, (b) learning and memory, and (c) social and emotional functioning. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to assess treatment effects for four boys aged 8 to 11. In each, information was obtained from a caretaker and a teacher. All boys had been diagnosed by their physicians and through neurodiagnostic testing. In every case, the boys had comorbid disorders, including sleep disorders, and, in one case, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Three boys were taking medication.

520 $a This was a multiple-case study of neurofeedback (NF) treatments of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. The research investigated the effects on (a) physiological and behavioral functioning, (b) learning and memory, and (c) social and emotional functioning. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to assess treatment effects for four boys aged 8 to 11. In each, information was obtained from a caretaker and a teacher. All boys had been diagnosed by their physicians and through neurodiagnostic testing. In every case, the boys had comorbid disorders, including sleep disorders, and, in one case, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). Three boys were taking medication.
520 $a NF treatments involved 20 sessions, administered by the investigator. Sensors were placed on the boys' scalps to monitor brain electrical activity. The boys responded to visual stimuli they viewed on a computer monitor, which incorporated this EEG (electroencephalographic) activity as feedback. NF helps participants train their brain activity toward better self-regulation. Pretreatment and posttreatment involved the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA); the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC); parent and teacher monitor ratings; physician information; interviews with child, parent, and teacher; and neurotherapist observations.
520 $a Results were mixed, with the least progress on TOVA scores. BASC ratings reflected greater improvement at school and home, and interviews and observations included even more positive assessments in all areas of investigation. Gains included greater behavior control, attention, organizational skills, homework completion, and overall academic performance; more positive self-esteem; better sleep; and cooperation with parents and teachers. Potential confounding factors included comorbidity, medication changes in certain boys, and behavioral changes due to expectations of the investigator and other adults. Notably, 40 treatments might have shown further gains. This partial success underscores the importance of further study of NF for ADHD.
