Summary

This trial aims to study how a combination of biofeedback and breathing practices can impact the severity of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adolescents aged 6-18 with ADHD. It's especially focused on those who may or may not be taking medication for ADHD, including those whose symptoms are not well-managed by their current treatment.
What is being tested?
The 'Healing Minds' intervention, which includes biofeedback and breathing practices over a 10-week period, is being tested to see if it can reduce the severity of ADHD symptoms and increase heart rate variability (HRV) compared to a placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-invasive techniques like biofeedback and breathing exercises, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, individual experiences may vary.
