Resumen

El Trastorno por Déficit de Atención con o sin Hiperactividad (TDAH) es un trastorno de origen neurobiológico que se caracteriza por un déficit de atención y dificultades de concentración, que puede cursar con hiperactividad e impulsividad. Este trastorno suele causar efectos negativos en el ámbito escolar, familiar y social. Con el objetivo de paliar estos efectos adversos, el Mindfulness es una intervención basada en la meditación oriental, que se introdujo en la medicina occidental en los años 70, de la mano de Jon Kabat-Zinn, quien desarrolló un programa de reducción del estrés (MBSR). Desde entonces el Mindfulness se ha utilizado en diferentes contextos, incluido el clínico, como tratamiento de diferentes patologías psiquiátricas, demostrando su efectividad en la reducción y mejora de la sintomatología de varias de ellas. En el caso del TDAH, diversos estudios han hecho uso del Mindfulness, obteniendo resultados positivos en cuanto al nivel de atención, regulación emocional, autocontrol, ansiedad y agresividad. En este artículo, en concreto, se revisan 13 estudios que aplican el Mindfulness en niños, adolescentes y adultos diagnosticados con TDAH. A pesar de algunas limitaciones metodológicas, estos estudios corroboran la efectividad del Mindfulness como una alternativa o un complemento al tratamiento de este trastorno.
