The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of neurofeedback training on EEG among children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this study, 16 boys with ADHD and 8 boys without ADHD aged 8-12 years were recruited to the study. They were matched and assigned in 3 groups including experimental, patient control and normal control. All participants were assessed by quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG). The patients in experimental group have received 24 sessions of neurofeedback therapy (8 weeks, 3 times per week). All participants were assessed by qEEG again at the end of the course. The results showed that after finishing the course, experimental group in comparison with control groups had significantly more improvement in brain waves in FZ and PZ areas. Therefore, it can be concluded that neurofeedback training is effective on EEG among children with ADHD.
