Mindfulness-oriented meditation (MOM) is a self-regulatory training used for attentional and behavioral problems. With its focus on attention, MOM is a promising form of training that is gaining empirical support as a complementary or alternative intervention for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, we tested the preliminary efficacy of MOM training in children with ADHD, by comparing its efficacy with an active control condition (Emotion Education Program, EEP). Twenty-five children with ADHD aged 7–11 years participated in MOM training (n = 15) or EEP (n = 10) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Neuropsychological and academic measures and behavioral, emotional, and mindfulness ratings were collected before and after the two programs. On average, MOM training had positive effects on neuropsychological measures, as evidenced by a significant mean improvement in all outcome measures after training. Moreover, positive effects on ADHD symptoms were found only in the MOM group. Although they are preliminary, our results documented that MOM training promotes changes in neuropsychological measures and in certain behavioral symptoms, suggesting it as a promising tool for ameliorating cognitive and clinical manifestations of ADHD.

正念冥想的临床应用:多动症儿童的初步研究

正念冥想(MOM)是用于注意和行为问题的自我调节训练。MOM专注于注意力,是一种有前途的培训形式,它正在获得经验支持,作为对注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)的补充或替代干预。在这项研究中,我们通过将MOM训练与主动控制条件(情感教育计划,EEP)进行比较,测试了MOM训练对ADHD儿童的初步疗效。25例7-11岁的ADHD儿童参加了MOM培训(n = 15)或EEP(n= 10)每周3次,共8周。在这两个程序之前和之后,都收集了神经心理学和学术测量以及行为,情感和正念等级。平均而言,MOM训练对神经心理学指标有积极影响,训练后所有结果指标的平均均值显着改善证明了这一点。而且,仅在MOM组中发现对ADHD症状的积极作用。尽管它们是初步的,但我们的研究结果表明,MOM训练可促进神经心理学措施和某些行为症状的改变,表明它是改善ADHD认知和临床表现的有前途的工具。
