| Abstract: | ADHD is one of the most prevalent psychological childhood disorders. Still, effective treatment methods like stimulant medication or cognitive behaviour therapy have limitations regarding medication-related side effects and long waiting times before treatment provision. Portable EEG neurofeedback treatment, hence treatment applied in a non-clinical setting like schools and at home, might be a timely non-pharmacological alternative treatment option. Still, whereas EEG neurofeedback treatment applied in a clinical context has been researched for some decades already with promising findings of effectiveness, less is known about the effect of portable EEG neurofeedback in ADHD treatment. Therefore, to employ portable EEG neurofeedback interventions in treatment for ADHD, more insight is needed to the current research status of this treatment method for ADHD. Thereby, A scoping review was performed, searching three databases, namely PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science. A total of eight studies were reviewed, tabulated and analysed to explore present evidence of portable EEG neurofeedback to treat ADHD, devices and software used during treatment, and measurement tools used to monitor symptoms of ADHD. It was found that most studies present weak to moderate effect sizes. |
