EEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) is available as an alternative or supplement
to medication. Twenty years of research has shown that EEG Biofeedback can decrease
the excessive slow wave activity characteristic of ADD, thereby raising test
scores as much as medication does. Rating scales and grades improve, hyperactivity
and impulsivity decrease, and IQ has been found to increase by 10 to 20 points.
It's been found through follow-up studies that the improvements gained with
neurofeedback maintain at 18 years after the initial treatments and it is
believed to be permanent.
At the ADD Clinic neurofeedback is always based on QEEG topographic brain mapping. Six different databases are used including eyes open and eyes closed data and the new three dimensional LORETA. The ADD Clinic is a leader in clinical practice, training, and research.
The director, Robert Gurnee, MSW is a past president
of the International Society of Neurotherapy and Research and the EEG Division of the Association of Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback.
He presents his research internationally.
