- Abstract
This review aims to verify whether Neurofeedback (NFB), compared with Methylphenidate (MFD), is an effective and sufficient treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. With the systematic search in the PubMed and Science Direct databases, a total of 106 articles were obtained, from which 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected. The great variability of results doesn't support the use of NFB as an effective and sufficient intervention for ADHD. Although it has been found that the combined treatment of NFB and MFD may be a promising alternative for ADHD, it is necessary to prove its evidence in future research.
