2026-03-04 — Neurofeedback, organisation skills, social skills, screen exposure, and dietary restriction evidence (5 cards)
These five cards cover non-medication support questions that need careful source reading: intervention format, who was studied, effect size, and limits.
Result: Statistically significant improvement in inattention symptoms was observed, though a separate review noted limited effects at the group level.
Result: Significant improvements in organizational skills and academic performance were observed, with positive reports from both parents and teachers.
Result: Improvements in social competence and ADHD symptoms were reported, though heterogeneity across studies resulted in wide confidence intervals.
Result: A statistically significant association was found between excessive screen exposure and ADHD symptoms (inattention, hyperactivity), but causation has not been established.
Result: Food coloring effect g=0.18 (very small), elimination diet effect g=0.29 (small) — statistically significant but small effects that do not apply to all children.

What: A meta-analysis of 10 RCTs examined the effects of portable EEG-based neurofeedback training (NFT) on ADHD symptoms in children.
Who: Children aged 6–12 diagnosed with ADHD who participated in EEG-based training programs.
Result: Statistically significant improvement in inattention symptoms was observed, though a separate review noted limited effects at the group level.
What: A meta-analysis of 12 RCTs (1,054 participants) examined the effects of Organizational Skills Training (OST) programs that teach scheduling, material management, and task planning.
Who: Elementary school children (ages 6–12) diagnosed with ADHD, participating in school- or home-based OST programs.
Result: Significant improvements in organizational skills and academic performance were observed, with positive reports from both parents and teachers.
What: A Cochrane systematic review of 25 RCTs (2,690 participants) examined Social Skills Training (SST) programs that teach social interaction, conversation skills, and emotional recognition.
Who: Children and adolescents aged 5–18 with ADHD participating in group or individual SST programs.
Result: Improvements in social competence and ADHD symptoms were reported, though heterogeneity across studies resulted in wide confidence intervals.
What: A meta-analysis and comprehensive review examined the relationship between excessive screen exposure (TV, YouTube, gaming) and ADHD symptoms in children.
Who: Multiple observational studies involving children aged 6–12 were included.
Result: A statistically significant association was found between excessive screen exposure and ADHD symptoms (inattention, hyperactivity), but causation has not been established.
What: A meta-analysis examined the effects of artificial food colorings and additives on ADHD symptoms (especially hyperactivity) in children.
Who: Children participating in food coloring exposure and elimination diet trials.
Result: Food coloring effect g=0.18 (very small), elimination diet effect g=0.29 (small) — statistically significant but small effects that do not apply to all children.
These cards do not replace clinical judgment; they help turn source-backed reading into questions before professional consultation.
