“…Evidence suggests that parietal areas, especially in central areas are involved in memory and attention control (Menon, 2011). According to the studies conducted in this area, the activity of executive functions is low in the parietal lobes of patients with PTSD (Falconer et al, 2008). Weber and colleagues (2005) argued that the parietal areas (including PZ) will play a key role in working memory and attention control and these areas are often impaired in patients with PTSD (Weber et al, 2005).…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of neurofeedback training on improving sustained attention of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods:The research design is quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. The study population consisted of the veterans with PTSD who were hospitalized in psychiatric wards. Purposeful sampling method was done to select 30 patients in psychiatric hospitals of Sadr, Delaram, and Parsa during spring, summer, and autumn of 2014 by considering their arrivals and departures. Then, they were randomly assigned into 2 experimental (n=15) and control group (n=15). The neurofeedback training by alpha-theta protocol was administered to the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any neurofeedback training. The sustained attention was measured by continuous performance test (CPT). After that, the data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance. Results:The results showed that neurofeedback training significantly increased the omission errors (P<0.001, F=17.074), commission errors (P<0.001, F=18.515), and reaction times (P=0.044, F=4.511) in sustained attention and reduced correct detection. Conclusion:According to the findings, the relation between alpha and theta waves, and based on underlying principles, neurofeedback treatment has achieved acceptable results.

“…Furthermore, studies have shown that the memory deficits associated with PTSD are broader than the diagnostic criteria suggest; eg, PTSD is associated with deficits in verbal and visual memory for emotionally neutral information (Brewin et al, 2007). The attention deficits that characterize PTSD are welldocumented and have been conceptualized as resulting from a combination of increased arousal and compromised inhibitory functions that are essential for attentional control (Falconer et al, 2008;Vasterling and Brailey, 2005).…”

We report findings from a 12-week randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial of methylphenidate or galantamine to treat emotional and cognitive complaints in individuals (n = 32) with a history of PTSD, TBI, or both conditions. In this small pilot study, methylphenidate treatment was associated with clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement compared with placebo on the primary outcome, a measure of cognitive complaints (Ruff Neurobehavioral Inventory-Postmorbid Cognitive Scale), as well as on the secondary outcomes reflecting post-concussive (Rivermead Post Concussive Symptom Questionnaire) and post-traumatic stress symptoms (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist). Treatment was well tolerated. These results suggest the need for a larger RCT to replicate and confirm these findings. Design considerations for such a trial should include the need for multiple sites to facilitate adequate recruitment and extension of the treatment and follow-up periods.
