Investigation of the Role of Neurofeedback Techniques in Managing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): An Approach at the Intersection of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders in children, significantly affecting their cognitive and behavioral performance. Neurofeedback, as a non-invasive therapeutic method, has gained attention for its potential to regulate brain activity and improve ADHD symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback techniques in managing ADHD symptoms using an integrative approach from neuroscience and biomedical engineering. In this experimental study, ۶۰ children diagnosed with ADHD were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent ۲۰ sessions of neurofeedback training using a theta-to-beta ratio reduction protocol. The results indicated a significant decrease in ADHD symptom severity and increased parental satisfaction (p < ۰.۰۰۱). This effect persisted for up to one month after the end of treatment. The findings suggest that neurofeedback can serve as an effective and low-risk intervention for ADHD treatment. Moreover, advancements in biomedical engineering for developing precise and intelligent neurofeedback devices hold great potential for enhancing the personalization of treatments.
