Overview
Brief Summary
Objective: Verification of ADHD Treatment Effectiveness of Mobile Neurofeedback to Subjects of Child and Youth with ADHD.
Method: Mobile Neurofeedback Program is implemented for 165 ADHD patients aged 8 to 15 to verify their effectiveness by conducting pre-post evaluation. Prior to the implementation of the intervention, we conduct a survey with demographic information, behavioral characteristics, clinical global impression, neuropsychological test, brain MRI, NIRS and EEG.
The drug naive subjects are randomly assigned to the mobile Neurofeedback group or Sham control group. The subjects on medication are randomly assigned to the mobile Neurofeedback group or Sham control group, In addition to the medication being administered.
The intervention are conducted three times a week, twice a day, and 10-20 minutes for 12 weeks, and the effectiveness is assessed four times in advance, third month, sixth month and twelfth months.
However, the Sham control group were provided the same machines and programs as the Neurofeedback exercise, but feedback is generated randomly regardless of ectroencephalogram change of the subjects.
