“…Changes in the level of the locus of control were demonstrated in experiments using feedback by the characteristics of EMG of mimic muscles of the forehead. In such a test, the locus of control shifted toward internality, and results of the respective sessions were more significant in internals in 72% of the cases [12] (similarly to the results of EEGfeedback sessions oriented toward increase in the alpha-rhythm power [4,5]). …”

In a group including 74 adults of both sexes, we examined interrelations between the locus of psychological control (diagnosed using the Rotter questionnaire) and parameters of event-related EEG potentials, ERPs, recorded in the course of performance of two behavioral test acts with a motor component. Task A corresponded to maximally fast pushing on the button after a signal with warning; the time of the sensorimotor reaction was measured. Task B included internal counting of a definite time interval limited by two pushings on the button. Under these conditions, we recorded the contingent negative variation (CNV), the P300 potential, and, in task B, the readiness potential (RP). EEG leads C3 and C4, according to the 10-20 system, were used. Internals (estimates by the questionnaire, 6 stens or higher) were characterized by higher amplitudes of the terminal CNV (CNV-T), integral CNV, and P300 in task A, by greater RP and CNV amplitudes in task B, and also by shorter reaction times and their smaller dispersion. It should be supposed that the corresponding peculiarities of the neurodynamic constitution of an individual are determined, to a considerable extent, by the specificity of organization and functioning of a few neurotransmitter (aminergic in particular) and neurohumoral systems.

Alternative Treatments for Adults with Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

A previous review of alternative treatments (Tx) of ADHD—those other than psychoactive medication and behavioral/psychosocial Tx—was supplemented with an additional literature search focused on adults with ADHD. Twenty‐four alternative Tx were identified, ranging in scientific documentation from discrediting controlled studies through mere hypotheses to positive controlled double‐blind clinical trials. Many of them are applicable only to a specific subgroup. Although oligoantigenic (few‐foods) diets have convincing double‐blind evidence of efficacy for a properly selected subgroup of children, they do not appear promising for adults. Enzyme‐potentiated desensitization, relaxation/EMG biofeedback, and deleading also have controlled evidence of efficacy. Iron supplementation, magnesium supplementation, Chinese herbals, EEG biofeedback, massage, meditation, mirror feedback, channel‐specific perceptual training, and vestibular stimulation all have promising prospective pilot data, many of these tests reasonably controlled. Single‐vitamin megadosage has some intriguing pilot trial data. Zinc supplementation is hypothetically supported by systematic case‐control data, but no systematic clinical trial. Laser acupuncture has promising unpublished pilot data and may be more applicable to adults than children. Essential fatty acid supplementation has promising systematic case‐control data, but clinical trials are equivocal. RDA vitamin supplementation, non‐Chinese herbals, homeopathic remedies, and antifungal therapy have no systematic data in ADHD. Megadose multivitamin combinations are probably ineffective for most patients and are possibly dangerous. Simple sugar restriction seems ineffective. Amino acid supplementation is mildly effective in the short term, but not beyond 2‐3 months. Thyroid treatment is effective in the presence of documented thyroid abnormality. Some alternative Tx of ADHD are effective or probably effective, but mainly for certain patients. In some cases, they are the Tx of choice, and initial evaluation should consider the relevant etiologies. A few have failed to prove effective in controlled trials. Most need research to determine whether they are effective and/or to define the applicable subgroup. Some of them, although not safer than standard Tx, may be preferable for an etiologic subgroup.

“…Based on a September 2010 PsychInfo and Medline search, six randomized studies of EMG-BF for pediatric ADHD were identifi ed. [15][16][17][18][19][20] All of them used EMG-BF of the frontalis muscles via visual feedback. On average, EMG-BF was given for six sessions (range 3 to 12); 14 minutes per session (range 8 to 26 minutes); 1.8 times/week (range 1 to 3/week); over the course of 7.3 weeks (range 1 to 12 weeks).…”
