qEEG Study on the Treatment of ADHD with CES

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), “hyperactivity” for short, is one of the most common behavioral disorders of childhood, with a prevalence rate of 3-6% for school-age children. For 2/3 of the child patients, the symptoms will last until adolescence, while for the remaining 1/3, the symptoms will last a lifetime. 1 As a new technology of importing weak micro-bioelectric current directly into the brain through electrodes clipped to the ear lobes, Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) has been applied in the treatment of ADHD. Quantitative Electroencephalogram (qEEG) is used to evaluate the clinical effects of CES on the treatment of ADHD, for the expectation of providing an objective conclusion and result analysis of changes in neuro-electrophysiology. The related information and data of 90 cases of ADHD treated with CES are reviewed and summarized here.
