Effect of EEG Biofeedback Combined with Executive Function Training on the Rehabilitation of Children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder
Objective To explore the rehabilitation effect of electroencephalogram biofeedback combined with executive function training in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods A total of 96 children with ADHD admitted to Henan Children's Hospital from January 2021 to September 2022 were randomly divided into two groups,with 48 cases in each group.The control group was treated with electroencephalogram biofeedback,and the observation group was treated with executive function training on the basis of the control group,both of which lasted for 2 courses.The attention test,clinical symptoms[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder screening scale(SNAP-Ⅳ)],brain wave frequency and executive function[Wisconsin card sorting test(WCST)]were compared between the two groups.Results After two courses of treatment,the attention test of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the SNAP-Ⅳ score was lower than that of the control group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).After 2 courses of treatment,the activity of β wave and sensorimotor rhythm wave in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the activity of θ wave was lower than that in the control group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).After two courses of treatment,the observation group had higher levels of conceptual education,correct answers,and continuous answers than those in the control group,while the number of continuous errors was lower than that in the control group,with a statistical significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Electroencephalogram biofeedback combined with executive function training can improve the attention of children with ADHD,improve their clinical symptoms,and improve their electroencephalogram frequency and executive function,which is conducive to promoting their rehabilitation.
