Effects of Twenty Hours of Neurofeedback- Based Neuropsychotherapy on the Executive Functions and Achievements among ADHD Children

A study conducted at the Asia University, Taichung, in Taiwan in 2022 examined the effects of a 20-hour computerized neurofeedback program on children with ADHD.

The goal was to see if this program could reduce ADHD symptoms and improve executive function more quickly than other programs. Fifty children were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group.

The experimental group received the neurofeedback program immediately, while the control group received it later. The study measured executive function using three tests and collected behavioral data from parents. The results showed that the experimental group had improved ADHD symptoms and math scores compared to the control group. Specifically, they showed better performance on the tests and improved overall academic performance. The researchers concluded that the neurofeedback program had positive effects and suggested larger studies to examine long-term effects and other patient populations.
