“…Lubar was the first to apply EEG biofeedback to a hyperactive child in 1976 and found improvements as the SMR application enhanced motor inhibition.NF aims to improve the self-regulation of brain activity using a brain-computer interface. Studies have shown that neurofeedback reduces inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity that are the hallmarks of ADHD and is as effective as stimulant drugs in controlling ADHD symptoms (Vlachou et al, 2022).…”

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood and one of the more widespread chronic diseases that affect children school age, based on the DSM-IV. This study focuses on the influence of stress to the kids suffering from ADHD and the importance of other elements on it. This particular study was based on articles in scientific journals, with the purpose to investigate some of the factors that affect positively or negatively in the exacerbation of anxiety on children suffering from ADHD and how the prenatal and parental stress affects this condition. The results have shown that the environmental factors, nutrition, hormones, neurotransmitters and alternative techniques are directly related with the characteristics of the disorder and the ways of how to improve it. In the light of these findings, we came to the conclusion that we can intervene to the deficits of mainly socio-emotional functions through the above factors.

Introduction and Importance: This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of neurofeedback on the symptoms of hyperactivity and attention deficit in primary school students with ADHD disorder. Case Presentation: The present study utilized a randomized clinical trial with pre-test and post-test measurements, and included a control group. The research population included all primary school students with ADHD in 2023, 50 of these children were selected as the experimental group based on the accessible sampling method, and 50 were also included in the control group. Neurofeedback treatment sessions for the experimental group were 30 sessions. Research data were collected in three stages: pre-test, and post-test by questionnaire based on the Conners rating scale from parents. SPSS-25 analyzed the data. Clinical Discussion: The results showed that neurofeedback is associated with significant effectiveness in the symptoms of attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity of students (P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it can be said that neurofeedback treatment is effective in reducing attention deficit and hyperactivity symptoms of students with ADHD disorder. It is suggested to widely use neurofeedback to reduce the symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

Background Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder diagnosed using DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) criteria. Medications are the primary treatment, leading to the emergence of mobile apps as alternative solutions to support people with ADHD. Purpose This review uses the Arksey and O'Malley scoping framework to assess mobile apps for ADHD. It examines their characteristics, target users, treatment modalities, treatment techniques, gamification elements, and medical support. Methods We searched for relevant records published within the 2013–2023 period in eight digital libraries and explored two virtual app stores (Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store). We found 1,562 potentially relevant apps, 63 of which were analyzed in the review. The apps were categorized as either commercial or non-commercial and further divided into video game and non-video game apps. The study revolved around six research questions. Results The majority (27%) of ADHD apps promote cognitive treatment, while 16% clinical diagnosis aid. The prioritized treatment techniques are cognitive (15.5%) and executive functions (10.85%) techniques. Only two of the 35 commercial apps are medically endorsed. Levels and statistics are the most popular gamification elements. Conclusions The study demonstrates the wide availability of mental health apps catering to individuals diagnosed with ADHD as well as parents and caregivers. Furthermore, it highlights various areas for future research and development, aiming to facilitate the integration of digital health interventions, particularly mobile apps, to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.
