Abstract
Investigators at the Research Institute Brainclinics, Nijmegen, Netherlands, conducted a meta-analysis on the Theta/Beta ratio (TBR) during Eyes Open from location Cz (the electrode halfway between the inion and the nasion) in the EEG of children/adolescents 6-18 years of age with and without ADHD.
Highlights
A substantial sub-group of ADHD patients do deviate on the Theta/Beta ratio (TBR) measure, but excessive TBR is not a reliable diagnostic measure of ADHD
The AAN, in an Evidence-Based Practice Advisory, concludes that it is highly likely that EEG theta-beta power ratio and EEG frontal beta power correctly identify patients with ADHD as compared to a clinical evaluation
The AAN recommends that the EEG test should not be used in place of a standard clinical evaluation, because of the risks of misdiagnosis of 6-15% when using the theta/beta ratio
