Puppy power: can dogs unlock calm for kids with ADHD?
NCT ID NCT05102344
Summary
This small, completed study tested if adding therapy dogs to standard social skills training could help children with ADHD. Researchers compared the dog-assisted program to training alone, looking for improvements in behavior and self-esteem. They also collected saliva samples to see if the dogs changed children's stress hormone levels, which might explain how the therapy works.
