Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the acupuncture therapy about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in China.
Methods: We searched for the studies on ADHD at China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI, http://www.cnki.net) from 2011.1 to 2013.8.
Results: Selected 12 studies were divided into 7 case reports and 5 control studies. 7 case reports reported significant
improvements with acupuncture therapy in ADHD. 5 control studies reported results that the acupuncture therapy groups were similar or better than western medicine treatment groups. Frequently used acupuncture points were EX-HN23 (7 times), GV20?P6?SP6 (6 times), G13?EX-HN1 (5 times).
Conclusions: There have been reported many ADHD clinical studies in China and these studies can be applied to the clinical practices in Korea.
