QEEG with normative database comparison for differential diagnosis

Key findings

  • Normative-database QEEG can separate patients with similar-looking ADHD symptoms into different EEG profiles
  • These profiles may relate to treatment response and prognosis
  • The authors argue QEEG deserves a routine place in ADHD diagnostic work-up
  • Includes one illustrative patient case

A short review of how quantitative EEG can support the differential diagnosis of ADHD. It argues that comparison with normative databases can reveal distinct EEG subtypes among patients whose symptoms look alike, and that these subtypes may help predict treatment response and outlook. The paper outlines the EEG patterns most often reported in ADHD and illustrates the approach with a single clinical case.
