Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is one of the most common childhood-onset psychiatric disorders. It is distinguished by symptoms of hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. The etiology of ADHD is unknown, and the disorder may several different causes. The pharmacotherapy most widely used for ADHD occasionally gives rise to ill effects. The studys of ADHD were approached from the viewpoint of medicine and pedagogics, but it is rare from the viewpoint of the Korean Medicine. So, we searched for the studies on ADHD of Chinese Traditional Medicine(TCM) in last eight years(1995-2002). In TCM, ADHD was placed under the category of ¡¯wind(ù¦)-one of the five pathogenic factors¡¯, ¡¯insomnia(ã÷Øù)¡¯, ¡¯forgetfulness(ËíØÎ)¡¯ and ¡¯restlessness(ðâÔÑ)¡¯, etc. Jang and Bu(the internal organs; íôÝ°) related with the differentiations of syndrome about ADHD were liver(ÊÜ), heart(ãý), spleen(Þ¡), kidney(ãì) and gallbladder(ÓÅ). Among them, liver(ÊÜ), kidney(ãì) and spleen(Þ¡) were important. The herbal medicines used in ADHD had the effects of spirit-calming(äÌãê), orifices-opening(ËÒЫ), Eumyang-balance(ëäåÕøÁû¬). And acupuncture therapy, ear-acupuncture therapy and dietary treatment, etc. were used in the treatment of ADHD. We expect that this review about ADHD in TCM help the clinical study of ADHD in Korean Medicine.
