| Although conventional treatments, such as stimulant medication, have been shown to be helpful for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), some people also try complementary health approaches to help manage ADHD symptoms. Limited evidence suggests that melatonin supplements may be helpful for sleep problems in children with ADHD. A substantial amount of research has been done on omega-3 fatty acid supplements for ADHD symptoms, but it is still unclear whether they are helpful. The evidence on Ginkgo biloba and Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark) is also inconclusive.  Studies of neurofeedback, a technique in which people are trained to alter their brain wave patterns, have had mixed results. |
