Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study was to ascertain the therapeutic impact of mobile neurofeedback (MNF) in neurotypical children when compared to sham MNF. Clinical assessments were conducted both before and after the MNF intervention, and the effectiveness of the intervention was to be validated through these evaluations.


Description:

Neurotypical children aged 10-15 participated in the study. All subjects were assessed using the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia Present and Lifetime Version Korean Version (K-SADS-PL-K) and confirmed to have no psychiatric symptoms. The participants were randomly assigned to the MNF active (N=31) or sham control (N=30) groups. The MNF program was administered using a mobile app (equipped with a headset with a 2-channel EEG sensor) for 30 min/day, 3 days/week, for 3 months. All participants and their parents completed self-report scales and participants complete neurocognitive function assessments including the continuous performance test, Stroop, children's color trails test-1 and 2, and intelligence test at baseline and after the 3-month MNF program.

Intervention

Device:
mobile neurofeedback
The participants were randomly assigned to the MNF active (N=31) or sham control (N=30) groups. The MNF program was administered using a mobile app (equipped with a headset with a 2-channel EEG sensor) for 30 min/day, 3 days/week, for 3 months.
sham mobile neurofeedback
The sham neurofeedback was implemented through presenting randomized game outcomes, independent of real measurements. The scoring distribution was meticulously adjusted to achieve a realistic spectrum of results, prioritizing median scores to uphold uniformity in user experience.
