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.
