Klinische Wirksamkeit

Im Rahmen einer multizentrischen, randomisierten, kontrollierten Studie evaluierten wir die klinische Wirksamkeit eines Neurofeedback-Trainings (NF) bei Kindern mit einer Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS) und untersuchten die einem erfolgreichen Training zugrunde liegenden neurophysiologischen Wirkmechanismen. Als Vergleichstraining diente ein computergestütztes Aufmerksamkeitstraining, das dem Setting des Neurofeedback-Trainings in den wesentlichen Anforderungen und Rahmenbedingungen angeglichen war. Auf Verhaltensebene (Eltern- und Lehrerbeurteilung) zeigte sich das NF-Training nach Trainingsende dem Kontrolltraining sowohl hinsichtlich der ADHS-Kernsymptomatik als auch in assoziierten Bereichen überlegen. Für das Hauptzielkriterium (Verbesserung im FBB-HKS Gesamtwert) ergab sich eine mittlere Effektstärke (von 0.6). Sechs Monate nach Trainingsende (follow-up) konnte das gleiche Ergebnismuster gefunden werden. Die Ergebnisse legen somit den Schluss nahe, dass NF einen klinisch wirksamen Therapiebaustein zur Behandlung von Kindern mit ADHS darstellt. Auf neurophysiologischer Ebene (EEG; ereignisbezogene Potentiale, EPs) konnten für die beiden Neurofeedback-Protokolle Theta/Beta-Training und Training langsamer kortikaler Potentiale spezifische Effekte aufgezeigt werden. So war für das Theta/Beta-Training beispielsweise die Abnahme der Theta-Aktivität mit einer Reduzierung der ADHS-Symptomatik assoziiert. Für das SCP-Training wurde u. a. im Attention Network Test eine Erhöhung der kontingenten negativen Variation beobachtet, die die mobilisierten Ressourcen bei Vorbereitungsprozessen widerspiegelt. EEG- und EP-basierte Prädiktorvariablen konnten ermittelt werden. Der vorliegende Artikel bietet einen Gesamtüberblick über die in verschiedenen Publikationen unserer Arbeitsgruppe beschriebenen Ergebnisse der Studie und zeigt zukünftige Fragestellungen auf.

The current study used behavioral and electroencephalograph measures to compare the transferability of cognitive training (CT), neurofeedback training (NFT), and CT combined with NFT in children with AD/HD. Following a multiple-baseline single-case experimental design, twelve children were randomized to a training condition. Each child completed a baseline phase, followed by an intervention phase. The intervention phase consisted of 20 sessions of at-home training. Tau-U analysis and standardized visual analysis were adopted to detect effects. CT improved inhibitory function, and NFT showed improved alpha activity and working memory. The combined condition, who was a reduced 'dose' of CT and NFT, did not show any improvements. The three conditions did not alleviate AD/HD symptoms. While CT and NFT may have near transfer effects, considering the lack of improvement in symptoms, this study does not support CT and NFT on their own as a treatment for children with AD/HD.

Training Protocol

Neurofeedback (NF) training has been used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. This paper presents the results of assessment of the learning ability of five patients having neuropathic pain. The following two types of baselines were adopted: Baseline 1 refers to power on Day 1 in PreNF state; and Baseline 2 refers to power recorded on each training day in PreNF state. The result of the study demonstrated that not only the baseline its selection is also important to demonstrate the validity of training protocol. It was also found that Baseline 2 can be used to define cut-off time for training (when training should be stopped). All five patients can be classified as learner and alpha band was found to be most relevant for NF training.

Study Results

Background: Factors related to long-term care needs have been studied widely, but there is limited research about the influence of health literacy on long-term care needs among the elderly in rural communities where the social context and care environment are uniquely different. Objective: To examine factors influencing long-term care needs among Thai elderly in rural communities. Materials and Methods: The present study used the cross-sectional design. The study sample included 477 elderly persons, who were members of the communities in Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Multi-stage random sampling was used to select participants. They were interviewed using the demographic and health information questionnaire, the Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS), the health literacy scale of Thai adults and long-term care needs questionnaire. The selected factors examined as independent variables included some demographic factors, depressive symptom, and health literacy. Results: The present study results revealed significant positive relationships existing between long-term care needs with age and depressive symptom, while negative relationships between income and health literacy were reported. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that four of nine determinants of long-term care needs: age, depressive symptom, health knowledge and understanding, and ability managing their health condition significantly predicted long-term care needs at a level of 18% (R² adjusted=0.18, p<0.001). Conclusion: The present study results showed associations between personal and health literacy factors with long-term care needs. These findings prove that it is vitally important for healthcare professionals to consider the rural elderly’s mental health status and health literacy when providing care and planning treatment.
