[post_content] => Philippa Fibert spoke about the results of a recent pragmatic trial of two complementary therapies for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at the Integrative Health Convention in London.
Her presentation described the potential benefits of treatments by nutritional therapists and homeopaths and outlined some simple suggestions for advice doctors and therapists might provide based on trial results.
“ADHD imposes significant burdens on children, their families and a wide range of public services,” said Philippa, a Fellow of the Society of Homeopaths who focused on ADHD and homeopathy in her PhD at the University of Sheffield.
“Research suggests narrow, short-term benefits of mainstream treatments – pharmaceutical medicines and behaviour change programmes – before carers turn to complementary therapies.
“Doctors are, however, uncomfortable recommending treatments about which they are under-informed, and which have minimal research evidence.”
The event on October 5-6, which was open to the public as well as practitioners, offered attendees the opportunity to learn about different practices in the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) field.
This year’s themes were physical therapies, psychological therapies and business/marketing for health practitioners.
