Overall scores for participants completing at least 2 data points decreased from a baseline median of 85.5 to 74.0 (p < 0.001, CI 95%).
63% had a statistically significant improvement in the primary outcome, first occurring after a mean of 4.5 visits. 80% completed all 10 consultations in a median of 12.1 months. Results: 35 participants were enrolled over 11 months. Baseline data of those who showed a statistically significant improvement (responders) were compared to those who did not (non-responders). The pre- and post-study difference in Conners Global Index - Parent (CGI-P) T-score was evaluated for each participant. ADHD symptoms were assessed using the Conners 3 - Parent Questionnaire administered at each consultation. Participants completed 1 screening and 9 individualized homeopathic follow-up consultations.
Patients and Methods: Participants (aged 6-16) were recruited through community advertisement and outreach. Background: An open-label pilot study of individualized homeopathy for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was conducted to assess the potential for future studies with a focus on the feasibility of the recruitment plan and outcome measure schedules identification of any group characteristics of participants who respond significantly to the therapy and establishing the length of time required for an improvement in ADHD symptoms.
