Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to review the effectivenss of Neurofeedback Therapy in children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders Methods 16 randomized controlled trials (RCT) of Neurofeedback Treatment in ADHD from 2009 to 2019 in PubMed were reviewed and analyzed their methods of assessment, treatment, results and adverse effect. Results In 16 RCT, the most frequently used diagnostic tool in ADHD was DSM-IV. Most of the studies reported Neurofeedback Treatment isn't superior than placebo or medication group but still effective in ADHD. In 6 out of the 16 studies, there were no adverse effect reported. Conclusion Most of the studies have shown neurofeedback treatment was effective in ADHD symptoms. More clinical studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of neurofeedback in ADHD.
