Behavioral and Cognitive Impacts of Mindfulness-Based Interventions on Adults with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review
Behavioural Neurology April 21, 2019 Hélène Poissant, Adrianna Mendrek, Nadine Talbot et al.
This systematic review of 13 studies involving 753 adults (mean age 35.1 years) found that all studies reported improvement in ADHD symptoms following mindfulness-based interventions. The review also indicated improvements in some aspects of executive function and emotion dysregulation. However, the authors caution that various biases—including absence of randomization, lack of control groups, low quality in selection and performance criteria, and high attrition bias—limit the clinical value and implications of the findings.
