Summary

This study tested a 10-week program of biofeedback and breathing exercises in children and teens aged 6-18 with ADHD. The goal was to see if these techniques could reduce ADHD symptoms and improve heart rate variability. The small, completed trial involved 12 participants and used a waiting-list control group.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to help children and teens manage ADHD symptoms like inattention and hyperactivity.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 12 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the placebo effect could play a role.
