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]).
Only three treatments have been proven to be effective for ADHD: behavior modification, medication, and the combination of the two. These treatments have been demonstrated to have short-term effects. No treatment has been shown to influence outcomes in adolescents or adults with ADHD over the long term. Initial results of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded Multimodal Treatment Study of Children with ADHD (MTA Study) were published in 1999.
