Summary
This trial will help researchers understand if MBAT-C is a promising intervention for children with ADHD and whether a larger clinical trial is warranted.
Who is the study for?
This study is for children aged 7-13 with ADHD who can understand and agree to the study's requirements. They must be able to stop any current ADHD medications if needed, speak English, and have parental consent. Children cannot join if they are pregnant, have certain physical conditions, take specific drugs that don't mix well with standard ADHD medication or are on monoamine-oxidase inhibitors.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new Mindfulness-Based Treatment (MBAT-C) against the usual medication treatment for ADHD in kids. It will also look at combining both treatments. The goal is to see how practical and acceptable MBAT-C is when compared to traditional methods.
What are the potential side effects?
While mindfulness-based therapy typically doesn't cause side effects like medicines do, standard ADHD medications may lead to appetite changes, sleep problems, headaches or stomachaches among others.
