摘要

To assess the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment option for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The literatures were searched using 15 databases

including MEDLINE

AMED

CINAHL

EMBASE

PsycInfo

the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials

the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews

six Korean medical databases and two Chinese databases without language restritions. Prospective controlled clinical studies of any type of acupuncture therapy for ADHD autistic patients were included. Trials in which acupuncture was part of a complex intervention were also included. All articles were read by two independent reviewers

who extracted data from the articles according to predefined criteria. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Of 114 articles

only three randomized clinical trials (RCTs) met our inclusion criteria. One RCT found that electroacupuncture (EA) plus behavioural treatment was superior to sham EA plus behavioural treatment. Two RCTs reported a significant benefit of acupuncture or auricular acupuncture over conventional drug therapies. Limited evidence exists for the effectiveness of acupuncture as a symptomatic treatment of ADHD. Given that the risk of bias of the included studies was high

firm conclusions cannot be drawn.
