520 |a Background Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common neuropsychiatric diagnosis in children and adolescents. ADHD is characterized by inattention, impulsiveness and hyperactivity to the extent that it affects the child's school results and relationships with friends and family. Computerized training of working memory and neurofeedback are two methods aimed at increasing the child's capabilities to manage their problems. Conclusions1. The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether computerized training of working memory or neurofeedback reduces symptoms of ADHD in children of school age.2. The scientific evidence is insufficient to determine whether computerized training of working memory and neurofeedback are associated with any risks.3. It isessential that children with ADHD have access to support services that are safe and effective. Controlled trials should be conducted to clarify the benefits and risks of computerized training of working memory and neurofeedback in the short and long term
