Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder that is characterized by attention deficit and concentration difficulties which can occur with hyperactivity and impulsivity. This disorder usually causes negative effects in the school, family and social environments. With an aim to alleviating these adverse effects, Mindfulness is an intervention based on oriental meditation, introduced in western medicine in the 1970s by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed a stress reduction program (MBSR). Since then, Mindfulness has been used in different contexts, including the clinical, as a treatment of different psychiatric pathologies, demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing and improving the symptoms of several of them. In the case of ADHD, several studies have applied Mindfulness interventions, obtaining positive results in terms of attention level, emotional regulation, self-control, anxiety and aggressiveness. In this article, in particular, we review 13 studies that apply Mindfulness in children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with ADHD. Despite some methodological limitations, these studies corroborate the effectiveness of Mindfulness as an alternative or a complement to the treatment of this disorder.
