Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by three major symptoms which are inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior affecting more than 10% of children’s academic performance worldwide. This meta-analysis is aimed to evaluate the efficacy of various non-pharmacological treatment interventions available for ADHD children. 15 studies met the inclusion criteria and a systematic literature review was conducted. Analysis showed that non-pharmacological treatments had a moderate effect size (SMD=-0.59, 95% CI -0.83 to -0.34, p<0.001) for managing ADHD symptoms in children. Among all the evaluated treatments cognitive behavior therapy had the largest effect (SMD=-0.89, 95% CI -1.28 to -0.50, p<0.001), followed by mindfulness meditation (SMD=-0.43, 95% CI -0.71 to -0.15, p=0.003). Neurofeedback and dietary interventions had smaller effect sizes but were still statistically significant. The research findings do suggest that non-pharmacological treatments can be effective for managing ADHD symptoms and may be a valuable addition to the treatment options for ADHD. However, in order to determine which nonpharmacological treatments are most effective for specific patient populations and to assess the long-term effects of these treatments, more research is needed.
