Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single-arm, open-label feasibility study. Participants will be assigned and will undergo a novel neurofeedback intervention, targeting down-regulation of deep limbic structures, specifically the amygdalae. Participants will complete 12 neurofeedback sessions delivered twice weekly over 6 consecutive weeks. The intervention will be delivered via the PRISM platform.


Description:

The objectives include: 1)Training the NYU team on the electric finger print electroencephalography neurofeedback (EFP-EEG-NF) technology and provide them with hands-on experience; 2) Assessing participants' ability to learn the feedback paradigm (i.e. control the EFP-EEG-NF signal; time to achieve learning; assess learning curves); 3) Exploring preliminary results assessing target symptoms (e.g. AISRS and BRIEF-A).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Score on Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) ADHD symptoms will also be measured using the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS). Items are scored as follows: 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), 3 (severe). The maximum total score for the scale is 54 points, with 27 points for each subscale. The total score is the sum of the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive subscales. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms. Baseline

Primary Score on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Screening Scale for DSM-5-Expanded (DSM-5 ASRS Expanded) The DSM-5 ASRS Expanded consists of 18 questions. Each question is scored in the range 0-4, for a total range of score of 0-72. The higher the score, the more difficulty the participant is experiencing handling ADHD. Baseline

Primary Score on Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function- Adult Version (BRIEF-A) Self-report Severity of executive function will be assessed via the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function- Adult version (BRIEF-A) self-report. All 75 items are rated in terms of frequency on a 3-point scale: 0 (never), 1 (sometimes), 2 (often). The total range of score is 0-150; higher scores indicate poor executive function. Baseline
