Two studies are underway to assess whether non-pharmacological treatments for ADHD can produce sustained improvement.
1. In the first study a sensory enrichment protocol designed to enhance neurogenesis, will be compared to treatment using ‘Hemi-Sync’ sounds and music to synchronize brain activity into a pattern designed to markedly enhance focus, concentration and attention.
2. The second study will evaluate efficacy of ‘brain balance exercises’ designed to increase hemispheric integration and right hemisphere function. Subjects can either be unmedicated or can remain on their prescribed medications during the course of the study, except on pre and post treatment test days and pre and post treatment MRI scanning days. The Quotient ADHD System developed in the laboratory to provide objective measures of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity will be used as a primary outcome measure. Neuroimaging will be used to evaluate treatment effects on regional blood flow and resting-state functional connectivity.
