Sarah Safranek, MLIS. Stimulant medication therapy is the most effective treatment for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, producing significant improvements in symptoms and modest improvements in academic achievement (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, based on multiple randomized controlled trials [RCTs]).
Despite many years of research of trying to find good therapies for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), medications are actually considered to be the most effective treatment for decreasing symptoms. Stimulant medications are considered to be first line treatments and include methylphenidate compounds (e.g., Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Focalin) and amphetamines (e.g., Adderall, Vyvanse).
