Résumé
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequent neurodevelopmental
disorders in childhood and adolescence. Choosing the right treatment is critical to
controlling and improving symptoms. An innovative ADHD treatment is neurofeedback (NF) that
trains participants to self-regulate brain activity. The aim of the study was to analyze the effects of NF
interventions in children with ADHD. A systematic review was carried out in the CINAHL, Medline
(PubMed), Proquest, and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA recommendations. Nine articles
were found. The NF improved behavior, allowed greater control of impulsivity, and increased sustained
attention. In addition, it improved motor control, bimanual coordination and was associated
with a reduction in theta waves. NF combined with other interventions such as medication, physical
activity, behavioral therapy training, or attention training with brain–computer interaction, reduced
primary ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, more randomized controlled trials would be necessary to
determine the significant effects.
