In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The first aim of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility and signal validity of a new approach to neurofeedback training (NF) using intensive EEG-based theta-beta NF for children with ADHD in the context of NF camps during school holidays. The second aim is to compare the efficacy of two neurofeedback protocols in reducing ADHD symptoms. Previous study results highlight that children with ADHD frequently show increased Theta-Beta-Ratios (TBR) in the qEEG, probably associated with attention difficulties, which may be ameliorated following neurofeedback training. However, the current state of research shows heterogenous findings regarding the efficacy of standard TBR NF for children with ADHD. Further study results suggest that personalized NF training protocols, based on the individual alpha peak frequency (iAPF), may be more effective in reducing ADHD symptoms than standardized on

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 6-13 years. Confirmed ADHD diagnosis (ICD 10: F90.0, F90.1, or F98.8) * German-speaking children with normal or corrected vision. Exclusion Criteria: * Children with neurological disorders (e.g., Epilepsy) * Children without an ADHD diagnosis * Caregivers with inability to provide informed consent or complete questionnaires * Participation in neurofeedback that was conducted in the year prior to the intended participation or is still ongoing. The intake of medication or psychotherapeutic treatments and ICD-10 diagnosis are queried at T1, T2 and T3. These are recorded as control variables and are not exclusion criteria. The medication intake was kept constant during the NF training.
