| Résumé : |
Background Neurofeedback (NF) is a nonpharmacological approach for ADHD, but standard protocols often overlook individual EEG variability, potentially limiting efficacy. We report the first double-blind randomized controlled trial of a session-adaptive individualized upper-alpha NF protocol in children with ADHD, based on individualized 1/f?+?alpha model. Methods Forty-eight children (6?12?years) diagnosed with ADHD were randomized to individualized upper-alpha NF (n?=?26) or sham feedback (n?=?22). Participants completed eight 1-h sessions over four weeks. The primary outcome was parent-rated ADHD symptoms on the SWAN scale, measured at baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up. Secondary outcomes included PedsQL, CBCL, SDQ, and neuropsychological tests. Intention-to-treat linear mixed-effects models assessed Time ? Condition interactions; within-group changes were evaluated via paired t-tests. EEG learning was defined as the change in each session's upper-alpha/theta-to-lower-alpha ratio. Results Blinding was preserved (Bang's Index: caregivers?=?0.13; staff?=?0.21). In the NF group, 21/26 children (80.7%) achieved ?learner? status versus 36.4% in sham. Both groups showed significant reductions in ADHD symptoms post-treatment (SWAN Total: NF, d?=??0.879, p? |
