THE APPLICATION OF NEUROMODULATION PROTOCOLS IN A CHILD WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER: A CASE REPORT

Apresentação do caso

The Report is based on the application of Neuro Psychophysical Optimization (ONPF) protocols provided by the Radioelectric Asymmetric Conveyer (REAC) in a male child (12 years old) diagnosed by medical and psychological opinion with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this sense, the protocols applied consist of neuromodulation methods in which the machine creates an electrical gradient between the patient and the application probe, triggering ionic flows that influence the restoration of cellular polarity and the optimization of brain areas - especially the prefrontal cortex - and the action of neurotransmitters such as those of dopaminergic and noradrenergic life. Thus, to evaluate the effectiveness of the protocols in relation to the symptomatology and quality of life of the patient, the SNAP-IV test was applied before and after the application of the protocol, evaluating divergences between the periods.

Discussão

The application of REAC technology was through 12-session neuromodulation protocols. To evaluate ADHD, the SNAP-IV test, recognized by the Brazilian Association of Inattention and Hyperactivity Deficit, was used. In this context, this test evaluates the symptomatology of the disorder through 18 questions concerning the patient's daily life and divides the answers into "NOT EVEN A LITTLE", "JUST A LITTLE", "QUITE" and "TOO MUCH" - being classified as pathological the inattention of children who have more than 9 answers "QUITE" or "TOO MUCH". In the pre-cycle period, before the application of the protocols, the patient had 1 answer "NOT EVEN A LITTLE", 4 "JUST A LITTLE", 8 "QUITE" and 5 "TOO MUCH". Subsequently, after the application of the protocols, the tests were performed again, resulting in 1 answer "NOT EVEN A LITTLE", 10 "JUST A LITTLE", 5 "QUITE" and 2 "TOO MUCH". Consequently, these results highlight improvement in the patient's perception of the disorder through the test, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of REAC technology with regard to ADHD.

Comentários finais

Therefore, REAC technology is outlined as an extremely relevant apparatus in the case of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity, enhancing the non-pathological functioning of the areas affected by the disorder. Owing to it, there is an improvement in the SNAP-IV test scores, associated with an improvement in the patient's quality of life and symptomatology.
