Piyush Dubey, Dr. Anita Puri Singh

Abstract :

ADHD is the biggest issue in current situations not only worldwide but as well in Indian context. The popular methods used in management of ADHD are psychiatric and psychotherapies but therapeutic intervention like yoga, homeopathy, massage therapy and green space settings are not been given much emphasis, thus the present research aims at meta analysis to find out the implication of alternative interventions and medication for successful management of ADHD. The result concluded that, yoga and meditation increases the short and long term span of attention on ADHD children. Medication shows positive effect on symptomatic aspects of ADHD in long term. Homeopathy shows positive result on cognitive aspect of ADHD in long term. The massage shows positive effect on task focus and group behavior but longevity is yet to confirm thus the analysis concludes that alternative and multiple intervention helps in effective management of ADHD.
