Monastra’s 2002 study investigated the effects of theta brainwave entrainment on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Theta brainwaves are associated with relaxation and creativity, and the study aimed to determine if stimulating these brainwaves could help manage ADHD symptoms. Participants in the study were individuals diagnosed with ADHD. They underwent sessions of theta brainwave entrainment and reported on their ADHD symptom severity before and after the sessions.

The results showed a significant reduction in reported ADHD symptom severity after the sessions, suggesting that theta brainwave entrainment could be an effective method for managing ADHD. This research indicates that theta brainwave entrainment could potentially offer a non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical treatment for ADHD. In conclusion, while Monastra’s 2002 study provides promising evidence for the use of theta brainwave entrainment in managing ADHD, further research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and limitations of this approach.
