Effectiveness Of Neurofeedback For Adhd
By: john kumar
In a recent study, 15 published studies were evaluated metanalytisch. The result is that the neurofeedback based therapy is a promising method to analyze darstellt.Die therapy data from almost 1,200 patients - 60 percent of children and 40 percent of adults.
In a so-called temporomandibular dysfunction (CMD) is the dysregulation of the masticatory muscles or the TMJ. You can for example cause referred pain in the head, but also in the shoulders and neck. A so-called persistent chronic TMD is in transition from intermittently occurring (permanent) to chronic pain. This applies to relieve pain. A pilot study published in 2010 by Radovan Roknic (Institute for Dental and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Marburg) once considered whether biofeedback and neurofeedback can contribute to such a relief.
For the study, a total of 36 patients were classified into one of three groups. One group received a neurofeedback therapy as well as a rail, a second rail and a biofeedback therapy, and a third only a splint therapy. With rail therapies to the position of the lower jaw of a patient be changed so that an optimal interaction of the muscles and the temporomandibular joint is possible. Comparing them with neuro and biofeedback with, then the splint therapy are referred to as classical treatment of CMD. In neurofeedback and biofeedback group, it was preceded by the feedback process on the one hand, on the other hand, she accompanied this process. Study aim therefore was not to examine whether organic or Neurofeedback can replace a splint therapy. Rather, it should be checked whether the two feedback methods can contribute as part of the overall treatment a success.
The functional impairment of the jaw was determined after the therapies based on so-called "myogenic sum score". This demonstrated both the working process with feedback and splint therapy groups significant changes and that the absolute reduction of impairments of jaw area in comparison to the pure passing on splint therapy group. For example, the vertical range of motion of the jaw in the groups with feedback method was significantly better than in the group with pure splint therapy group before pain stopped the movement of the jaw of the patient. And there was another significant difference between the feedback groups and the pure splint therapy group: The maximum mouth opening until pain prevents further opening of the mouth, was in the feedback groups significantly greater than in the translated solely on splint therapy group. Measured here is the abbreviated with SKD cutting edge distance, thus opening the mouth by the maximum possible distance between the cutting edges of the upper and lower front teeth.
With temporomandibular dysfunction associated with practically all involved in the study, patients received a moderate to severe depression. The number of patients with severe depression was reduced by the particular therapy in the three groups. The group with neurofeedback and splint therapy showed significant differences, however, especially in the non-specific physical symptoms. Overall, the authors of the study conclude with the result that both feedback procedures (biofeedback and neurofeedback) that in combination with a splint therapy a "more effective reduction of muscular hypertonicity" than the pure splint therapy. As muscular hypertonicity excessive tension of a muscle is called, which may also contribute significantly to the complaints received by the CMD. Following the outcome of the study's authors see both feedback procedures as appropriate treatment options for a total CMD patients(read
