Summary

This trial tests whether a structured, therapist-led dance program can improve cognitive-motor skills, balance, self-esteem, and sensory processing in children aged 6 to 12 with ADHD. Over five weeks, participants attend ten dance sessions designed to combine rhythm and movement with cognitive challenges. The goal is to see if this playful approach offers benefits beyond standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a structured occupational therapy-based dance program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, non-drug way to help children with ADHD improve focus, balance, and confidence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early trial with only 36 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The control group gets no intervention, which may overestimate benefits.
