Effectiveness of a Mobile Neurofeedback for ADHD Youth

to maximize usability and effectiveness, we would like to conduct a study that regulates theta/beta ratio using mobile app-based Neurofeedback Training Equipment (OmniCNS). The actual Neurofeedback training allows you to download and use the omnifit brain\_Game, an application with an audio guide. After the pre-assessment, the researcher will provide guidance to subjects and carers on how to use the application, and demonstrate how to use it in practice. For 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks, phone calls are conducted to check whether they are used or not and for any inconvenience. After 12 weeks of Neurofeedback training, the device is returned and post-evaluated. The application is equipped with four types of games and is instructed to use the three-day-a-week application. For Neurofeedback attention and cognitive training, use a headset with left and right frontal lobe 2 channel-EEG sensors to perform the game through feedback to see if it is concentrating well.

It uses the sham devices and programs as the Neurofeedback, but it is not usually possible to obtain the expected effects of the Neurofeedback by providing random feedback regardless of actual brain waves. In case of Sham control group, parental education is conducted the same for each clinical evaluation, and in case of Sham control group, actual Neurofeedback is applied if patients and parents want it after the end of the study.

The mobile needback is applied to patients who are taking methylphenidate or atomoxetine, which is a standard ADHD treatment, but have not been remissioned with more than 4 points of CGI-S.
