Neurofeedback Interventions in Adult ADHD: A Case Study on Symptom Mitigation
Megan Broadway, Brittany Hall, Krista Parker, Burton Ashworth

Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of neurofeedback on an adult female presenting with severe ADHD. The project was undertaken to assess if neurofeedback alone could ameliorate ADHD symptoms without the additional use of medication. This study used a baseline electroencephalogram (EEG), as well as the IVA-2 and BRIEF-A to assess ADHD symptoms before and after neurofeedback treatment. The quantitative findings between the baseline and post-intervention EEG showed improvement across multiple Brodmann networks. For the BRIEF-A, the greatest improvements were seen for the Inhibit component measure and the Plan/Organize component. This was consistent with the results of the IVA-2 which indicated a reduction in speed/quickness after treatment. We conclude that neurofeedback treatment is an effective therapy for decreasing ADHD symptoms in adults.
