Some Swiss researchers suggest to uses the neurofeedback, has technique of the biofeedback, to treat the children affected by the trouble of deficit of the attention with hyperactivity (TDAH).According to their results, the neurofeedback is in this look more efficient that has therapy of group of marks cognitivo-comportementale. This technical produces the very real effects that cannot be assigned to year effect placebo, plead the researchers.With the help of the technical of neurofeedback, the participating had to learn to master some cerebral functions thanks to the medical imagery provided by year electroencephalograph.Year leotard-mind approach Related to the biofeedback, the neurofeedback allows the patient to see, in real time, has visual representation of his/her/its own cerebral activity. During the sessions of neurofeedback, the topic must find convenient means to modify this activity while acting himself one his/her/its thoughts and, of general manner, one his/her/its mind.The researchers compared the efficiency of the biofeedback (17 children) to the one of has group therapy (13 children). According to the assessment of the parents, the children of the group of neurofeedback would haggard improved their attention span and their cognitive performances more that those that participated in the therapy of group. Among the children submitted to the neurofeedback, those that learned to modify their cerebral activity voluntarily controled their hyperactivity and their impulsiveness better that the other, note the researchers.Of the mitigated resultsSince the beginning of the years 2000, some American researchers was able to forward to get good results with the techniques of biofeedback. However, the clinical proofs one the neurofeedback to treat the TDAH would be even dissatisfactory. The experts estimate that the was able to forward positive results can be attributable to has set of clinical interventions rather than to the biofeedback solely.According Achim to, professor of psychology to the university of Quebec in Montreal and coauthor of the Troubled book showing has deficit of the attention with hyperactivité2, this survey doesn’t raise more questions than it solves some.The results don’t clearly demonstrate that the improvements are attributable to intervention in biofeedback, he/it adds. It is also the places of several studies one the topic. “Our own works seem to indicate, he/it pursues, that the neurofeedback has has real positive effect one some children TDAH enduring, goal one ignores again what this effect is. One has difficulty getting clinical kindness in has constant” manner, he/it explains.To Quebec, the therapy by neurofeedback is not covered by the régime of health insurance. “Heart the parents haggard who the financial means of it, this approach would be able to, in some slots, to bring some kindness”, esteem all the same André Achim.
