NEUROFEEDBACK FOR ADHD

Neurofeedback for ADHD is a therapeutic modality to improve the electrical activity of the central nervous system. EEG Neurofeedback is a specialized application of Neurofeedback or brainwave data in an operant conditioning paradigm.  EEG Neurofeedback  or  neurofeedback can facilitate and  enhance normal functioning of the brain.

Neurofeedback for ADHD is brain training system that enables persons to change  their brain waves to achieve self regulation. EEG Neurofeedback has been shown to reduce unproductive brainwave.  EEG Neurofeedback has been associated with improvements in most cognitive testing  rating scale.  Studies revealed differential EEG patterns for theta/beta and SCP training provide further evidence that distinct neuronal mechanisms may contribute to similar behavioral improvements in children with mental challenges as ADHD, Autism and cognitive impairment.

Neurofeedback Treatment Benefits

Specifically, EEG Neurofeedback  has reliably decreased:

• irritability and explosiveness
• distractibility to visual and auditory stimuli
• blaming of others
• attention problems
• difficulty absorbing verbal and written material
• sleeping problems at night
• procrastination

Neurofeedback  has reliably reliably increased:

• sense of physical self and boundaries
• ease of taking in information
• short-term memory
• ability to finish what is started
• ease of listening, comprehending, and conversing
• ability to disengage from one task and move to another as priorities change

Test is essential to design treatment and achieving optimal brain functioning. ADHD test may show if the child has abnormal EEG brainwave, reduced  responsiveness, hyperactivity symptoms. Most teachers have major problems in assessing children with specific language impairment or children with ADHD or ADHD.  People with ADHD are often unable to suppress alpha during normal condition. ADHD test may reveal if ADHD children  are able to attend to and process visual stimuli as efficiently as children without ADHD. 

 How many Neurofeedback sessions are required?

Current research have yet to conclude that all trained EEG parameters will lead to distinct changes in the resting EEG. Future studies should ADHDress how to optimize Neurofeedback or EEG Neurofeedback for children or adult with ADHD especially which combination of treatment protocol and how many training sessions, might be appropriate for an individual child.

The investment fees for ADHD Testing is SGD$195. The test may last for 75 - 120 minutes. Please schedule an appointment for the test on weekdays from 2pm - 6pm. For Saturday appointment 10am-1pm , two weeks advanced booking is required.
