NEUROFEEDBACK on Event-Related Potential (ERP)

This project aims to assess the evolution of symptoms in ADHD children from 8 to 17 years, with various types of attention training. Different groups A, B and C will be evaluated: the first with Neurofeedback training, the second with a similar training but not indexed on brain activity and the third without training. 30 patients will be randomly assigned to groups A and B according to a ratio 2:1. Others patients who meet the same criteria but for logistical reasons cannot comply with the training constraints will be assigned to group C. Children included in groups A and B will participate in training sessions (Neurofeedback and control training, respectively) as well as in four evaluation sessions. Children in group C will only participate in evaluation sessions (baseline control group). Patients of groups A and B will be followed over 6 months: 4 months of training and a follow-up evaluation 2 months after training. Patients of group C will be followed each 2 months for 6 months. This study uses electro-encephalography measures, serious video game, neuropsychological tests and questionnaires. It also uses actigraphy measures to evaluate sleep quality.
