Abstract

The subject in this case study was a 21-year-old man who had to leave college at the beginning of his senior year after being diagnosed with adult onset schizophrenia, undifferentiated type. For 18 months, the only interventions the subject utilized were varying doses of aripiprazole and intensive neurofeedback training. Data derived from five serial quantitative EEGs identified statistically significant coherence abnormalities that appeared as the schizophrenia progressed. Neurofeedback training to enhance cortical stability and normalize neural connectivity was directed by the convergence of data from each quantitative EEG and clinical assessment. Results showed a dramatic increase in functional abilities and a decreased need for medication. The subject resumed his challenging college curriculum and graduated. However, he then stopped neurofeedback and, in spite of increased medication, became floridly psychotic. This study supports other research showing neurofeedback training may be a useful treatment...

QEEG引导神经反馈治疗精神分裂症:一个案例研究
本案例研究的对象是一名21岁的男子,在被诊断为成人型未分化型精神分裂症后,他不得不在大四开始时离开大学。在18个月的时间里,受试者使用的唯一干预措施是不同剂量的阿立哌唑和强化神经反馈训练。来自5个连续定量脑电图的数据表明,随着精神分裂症的进展,出现了统计学上显著的连贯性异常。神经反馈训练以增强皮质稳定性和正常化神经连通性为指导,由每一次定量脑电图和临床评估的数据融合而成。结果显示功能能力显著提高,对药物的需求减少。这个主题重新开始他富有挑战性的大学课程,然后毕业了。然而,他后来停止了神经反馈,尽管增加了药物治疗,他还是变得严重精神病。这项研究支持了其他研究,表明神经反馈训练可能是一种有用的治疗方法。
