INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that meditation practice reduces ADHD symptoms in adults with the diagnosis?
Unclear. The retrieved items offer only partial support: a registered trial protocol and a review of small, uncontrolled adult studies report promising preliminary improvements in ADHD symptoms with mindfulness meditation, while a scoping review finds inconsistent effects on core inattention and hyperactivity symptoms. No item provides a controlled trial establishing that meditation reduces ADHD symptoms in diagnosed adults.
