Can ADHD be treated with acupuncture?

Patient's question:

The hospital diagnosis is ADHD, and this condition has been present for a year, though the manifestations have varied. Currently, his head and neck are constantly moving, sometimes accompanied by his arms. He himself says that if he concentrates, he becomes still. Can acupuncture help with my son's condition?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the child's cognitive function is not a problem and lead-related causes are ruled out, acupuncture can be performed, but it is recommended to combine it with rehabilitation training. Normal attention training, sensory integration training, brain function biofeedback, and other methods can improve symptoms, but it may take longer. It is recommended to check whether the local large children's hospital or the child care department offers relevant rehabilitation training programs. It is better to seek treatment in a regular, professional, and top-tier hospital.
