Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). New evaluation techniques

Abstract

This study aims to determine the overall progress of the diagnostic process and what their immediate future in ADHD, digging into two new objective techniques such as the EEG and HEG. First is to put the future prospects for ADHD in short and medium term, trying to understand the current reality and the new range of opportunities open to us in this direction. Second, it specifically states the objective of knowing specifically hemoencefalografía technique nirHEG and its immediate predecessor Q-EEG, with the aim to show their biological basis, its usefulness and accessibility in the diagnosis. As well as supplementing it with other related measures such as the TOVA test, with great efficiency and reliability in the diagnosis and management of ADHD. All theoretical evidences, trying to condense the findings bring new more objective measures in the diagnosis of ADHD, as well as simpler to implement. We discuss the educational implications.
