简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate if neurofeedback and working memory training improves core symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents.
详细描述
This study investigates two types of Neurofeedback (NF), one well-established and well-researched protocol called Slow Cortical Potential NF (SCP), and a newer and less researched, yet popular among private clinicians, the so-called live z-score training (LZT). These methods are compared to working memory training (WMT) and a passive control condition, treatment-as-usual only (TAU). The active conditions (SCP/LZT/WMT) are delivered high frequent, with 5 sessions/week, for a total of 25 sessions.
Outcomes measures are taken at Preintervention and Postintervention, as well as at a 6-month follow-up assessment.

结局指标
主要结局
Conners 3 ADHD-index
时间窗: Up to seven months
Presented below are the within-group differences from baseline to 6-month follow up, for the ADHD-index of the Conners-3. Positive numbers indicate symptom improvements. \*The ADHD-index raw score can range from 0-20, with higher score indicating greater symptom severity. The Reliable Change Index (RCI) is 2.88.
