Synthèse partielle

Si le cerveau fonctionne à une fréquence trop élevée ou trop basse par rapport à celle qui correspond à son activité, il ne peut pas effectuer correctement cette tâche.

• Les études montrent que les enfants TDAH fonctionnent avec un excès d’ondes lentes (thêta et delta), les enfants TDAH diffèrent de la moyenne (vs. enfants du même âge) par les valeurs absolues de thêta et le rapport thêta / bêta à Cz (une des zones cérébrales).

• Certains enfants atteints de TDAH deviennent hyperactifs pour tenter de se réveiller et de contrecarrer les effets des ondes cérébrales lentes. Le mouvement paradoxalement les aide à se concentrer, car il les aide à activer les ondes bêta.

 

Neurofeedback

L’auto-régulation de l’activité cérébrale est possible grâce au neurofeedback

• L'American Academy of Pediatrics a classé le neurofeedback “Intervention de niveau 1” pour le traitement des troubles TDAH. 

• Le “National Institute of Health” répertorie plus de 8 500 publications examinées par des pairs sur le biofeedback et 450 sur le neurofeedback.

• Différentes publications scientifiques ont conclu que “le Neurofeedback produit une amélioration significative des symptômes principaux du TDAH (équivalent aux effets produits par le MPH (méthylphénidate), selon les rapports des parents)”.

 

Stimulation Magnétique Transcrânienne

Cette stimulation non-invasive permet de stimuler l’activité cérébrale, avec des résultats positifs sur la réduction des troubles ou l’accélération de l’amélioration des performances, en association avec d’autres prises en charge.

Stimulation du Nerf Vague

La stimulation du nerf vague (VNS) est utilisée depuis plus de 20 ans en tant que traitement non pharmacologique de l'épilepsie. Des stimulations non-invasives sont désormais possibles et plus facilement accessibles aux patients.
