Introduction: Relapse in methamphetamine dependency is one of the most difficult parts to treat. Therefore treatment of craving for usage is one of the essential sections of treatment in methamphetamine dependency (addiction). This study evaluates the effect of neurofeedback therapy on craving for use. Methods: In this study 20 male patient with methamphetamine dependency who diagnosed on the basis of DSM-V were selected. None of the patients had any psychiatric and neurologic disorder except addiction of methamphetamine. Patients were divided into 2 groups of 10. The first group has taken real neurofeedback therapy sessions while the second has undergone non-real neurofeedback (sham) therapy. Then the two groups have been compared with t-test. Result: The result shows that in the first group (real neurofeedback), craving for methamphetamine use has been decreased significantly whereas in the second group (non-real or sham), the decrease was not significant. Conclusion: Neurofeedback therapy is effective in treatment of craving for methamphetamine use.

“…Bodehnamer and Callaway [14] have extended the follow-up of peniston protocol result in 2003. Raymond and colleagues [15] in 2005 showed more avoidance and remission in patients who took neurofeedback therapy sessions. Several studies have been done on alpha/theta protocol on P z or P 4 [15] [16].…”

“…In order to explore possible benefits for wellbeing socially anxious and withdrawn students were randomised to alpha/theta training or to mock training where feedback was non-contingent (Raymond et al, 2005b), a strategy used previously in Egner et al (2002). Advantages for the contingent feedback group were reported on self-ratings of composure, agreeableness, elevated mood, confidence and energy.…”

Abstract:The field of neurofeedback training has largely proceeded without validation.Here we review our studies directed at validating SMR, beta and alpha-theta protocols for improving attention, memory, mood and music and dance performance in healthy participants. Important benefits were demonstrable with cognitive and neurophysiological measures which were predicted on the basis of regression models of learning. These are initial steps in providing a much needed scientific basis to neurofeedback, but much remains to be done.

“…These findings led them to conclude that SMR NFT can enhance attentional processing in healthy participants. Additionally, Raymond et al (2005) shows the use of alpha/theta training to elevate mood and energy; while mock group showed a significant move towards tiredness.…”

Mobile apps have improved human lifestyle in various aspects ranging from instant messaging to tele-health. In the current app development paradigm, apps are being developed individually and agnostic of each other. The goal of this thesis is to allow a new world where multiple apps communicate with each other to achieve synergistic benefits. To enable integration between apps, manual communication between developers is needed, which can be problematic on many levels. In order to promote app integration, a systematic approach towards data sharing between multiple apps is essential. However, current approaches to app integration require large code modifications to reap the benefits of shared data such as requiring developers to provide APIs or use large, invasive middlewares. In this thesis, a data sharing framework was developed providing a non-invasive interface between mobile apps for data sharing and integration. A separate app acts as a registry to allow apps to register database tables to be shared and query this information. Two health monitoring apps were developed to evaluate the sharing framework and different methods of data integration between apps to promote synergistic feedback. The health monitoring apps have shown non-invasive solutions can provide data sharing functionality without large code modifications and manual communication between developers.
