Abstract
The study reports on Patient-Directed neurofeedback for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Therapist involvement was limited to 10 treatment sessions used to train the patient or parents of younger children to use the equipment, to monitor treatment, and to make changes in the treatment protocol as necessary. The remaining 50 sessions were conducted at home using inexpensive, easy to operate, 1 or 2 channel Lexicor PODS. Results from the initial 6 patients, ages 7 to 45, are reported. Thirteen of 24 Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) measures (attention, impulsivity, reaction time and variability) were below average (SS c 90) at baseline. After 30 neurofeedback sessions, only 5 TOVA variables remained below average. It is concluded that Patient-Directed neurofeedback may be an effective alternative to Therapist-Directed treatment for many AD/HD patients and can be delivered at substantially less cost.
