Quantitative EEG Insights Into A Hundred Adult ADHD Patients: A Deep Dive Into Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) Correlations and Attention Dynamics.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by integrating quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) power bands with the test of variables of attention (TOVA) and self-reported psychiatric symptoms. We examined the relationship between TOVA scores, qEEG findings-particularly the theta-beta ratio-and comorbid psychiatric conditions to assess their role in refining ADHD diagnoses according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V).

Method

A total of 100 participants were assessed using TOVA, qEEG, and psychological scales, including the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), and the Mood Disorde
