Objectives：The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and the effects of neurofeedback from child and adolescent patients with ADHD in retrospective setting.
Methods：Forty-eight patients who received neurofeedback from a university hospital in Korea from July, 2005 to July, 2010 participated in this study. Twenty-nine patients were placed in medication group, the other 19 patients were placed in no-medication group. Two groups are not statistically different in intelligence, ADHD severity and baseline CGI. The demographic data, characteristics of psychiatric disorders, and states of neurofeedback were analyzed. The effects of neurofeedback were evaluated before and after training using CGI and subjective self-rating scale(The Hill-Castro Checklist).
Results：Twenty-nine patients had been taking medicine, and 13 patients(44.8%) of those patients have been taking medication for less than a year. The average frequency of neurofeedback was 36.1, and neurofeedback protocol was preferred β/SMR(58.3%) for both groups. Significant changes in CGI before and after training were noticed in both groups(＜.001). And self- rating scale also showed significant changes in attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, immaturity, self- esteem and hostility(＜.001) in medication group and attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, hostility and aggressive/sadistic behavior in no-medication group. Both medication groups and no-medication group showed significant improvement.
Conclusion：This is a retrospective study in clinical setting, so there are several limitations. But this study demonstrates the significant positive effects of neurofeedback in objective and subjective rating scales for young patients with ADHD. Prospective controlled studies are needed in the future.
