    [post_content] => A survey conducted by Society Fellows Philippa Fibert and Clare Relton has been published in BMJ Paediatric Open.

The survey was carried out to establish what families in the UK use to manage attention - deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Dr Clare Relton reported "Families with children with ADHD use a wide variety of main and non-mainstream treatments.  Almost half reported using non-mainstream treatments - particularly nutrition, homeopathy and cranial osteopathy. Further research is required into all three of these approaches"

ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed and treated childhood psychiatric disorders.

Dr Philippa Fibert added "Life is not easy for those with ADHD. We need further research into all three of these approaches given that they are being used by carers, we know that paediatric doctors are increasingly turning to more natural treatments and mainstream treatments don't seem to be improving things long-term and are associated with common side effects.

We conducted two small trials in these surveyed families - of treatment by homeopaths, and treatment by nutritional therapists. The results were promising, with homeopathic treatment particularly improving temper tantrums and other emotional symptoms, and nutritional treatment particularly improving impulsivity and restlessness. With funding, we can conduct larger, more definitive  trials."
