Press Release: NEW CONTROL STUDY FINDS BRAIN BALANCE PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL FOR ELIMINATING ADHD SYMPTOMS Eighty One Percent of Participating Children No Longer have ADHD after Brain Balance Program New Jersey City, NJ – A new randomized control study conducted by doctors in the Medical Neurology and Neuroscience field found that a drug-free, multi-modal program is significantly effective for eliminating symptoms associated with ADHD, as well as producing significant cognitive improvement. After a 12-week intervention program, the researchers found that 81 percent of children who enrolled in the multi-modal program no longer fit the criteria for ADHD. The independent study, “The Integration of the Neurosciences, Child Public Health, and Education Practice: Hemisphere Specific Remediation Strategies as a Discipline Partnered Rehabilitation Tool in ADHD”, was published in the peer reviewed Frontiers, In Child Health and Human Development. The study consisted of an experimental group of 122 ADHD children, as well as a control group of ADHD children ranging in ages from 4 to 13. Each child displayed inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, academic under-achievement, and/or behavior problems, and met the criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. The experimental group enrolled in a 12 week intervention program at Brain Balance Achievement Centers which consisted of a multi-modal program of sensory motor exercises, cognitive exercises and nutritional guidance. The program attempted to achieve physiologic balance and temporal coherence in the brain and hemisphere, as well as evenness of skills that would match the child’s age and grade level. The children attended three times per week for one hour at a time. After 36 the 12 week period participants were re-tested and the program yielded compelling results. In addition to the high percentage of children no longer fitting the criteria for ADHD, 60 percent of children achieved a two grade level academic increase, and 35 percent of children experienced a four grade level academic increase in multiple subjects. On the other hand, the control group, who did not go through the Brain Balance Program, was also reassessed after 12 weeks. The data showed that these children experienced very little change academically, but behaviorally, their symptoms worsened. This seems to imply that the improvement in symptoms was accompanied by a significant improvement in cognitive skills and academic achievement.
