Official title:
Effectiveness of EEG Neurofeedback in Pediatric Occupational Therapy to Improve Executive Functioning
EEG Neurofeedback is a noninvasive way that allows the central nervous system to self regulate and the frontal cortex to be accessed through quieting of the limbic system at the subcortical level. Currently there is limited research in regards to the implications of EEG Neurofeedback, however, the investigators of this study have been using EEG Neurofeedback as a passive modality in the treatment of various pediatric clients with a variety of diagnoses and disorders. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not EEG neurofeedback is effective in improving executive functioning skills in pediatric, school aged children as a modality in traditional occupational therapy services. The investigators hypothesize that EEG neurofeedback will assist with improved sensory gating abilities, therefore allowing for higher levels of cognition and awareness due to increased opportunities for the brain to regulate itself.

Primary | Executive functioning improvements | Executive functioning improvements as indicated by improved scores on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning second edition, or BRIEF-2, at the end of 20 sessions when EEG neurofeedback was utilized. The BRIEF-2 is considered the gold standard for testing executive functioning and has over 1000 peer reviewed articles. It utilizes three different scoring sub-sections- typical, potentially clinically elevated. or clinically elevated. Participants in this study must score within the potentially clinically elevated or clinically elevated levels to qualify. Ideally, moving up one section to typical range or potentially elevated range would demonstrate positive study results. | minimum 20 weeks, up to 8 months |
