The Impact of Neurofeedback Training on ADHD: A Case Study

Abstract

This paper evaluates the impact of neurofeedback training on ADHD. Throughout the years, many researchers have tried to assess the impact of neurofeedback training on ADHD; however, studies have suffered from shortcomings in the methodological application and a lack of proper control groups. This study aims to address some of the aforementioned concerns. Questions addressed in this study include: (a) Is neurofeedback an effective intervention for ADHD? (b) Will participants significantly improve their symptoms with the combination of neurofeedback training and treatment as usual? I hypothesized the addition of neurofeedback training would yield more favorable results in reducing symptoms of ADHD, such as impulsivity, attention, and hyperactivity, than pharmacological treatment alone in adolescents 11–17 years old.
