Abstract

Objectives: This case report aimed to evaluate whether oriental medical treatment was effective on ADHD through a records review of a local oriental medical clinic. Methods: We reviewed clinical charts of a local oriental medical clinic between December 2007 and September 2010 to select ADHD patients. Among those patients, for comparison before and after treatment, we selected cases which had at least twice Stroop test results and 2 months of treatment. Baseline, 3-month and 6-month Stroop test results were compared. Oriental medical treatment consisted of 2 months' herbal medicine, periodic acupuncture and exercise. Results: 1. 3-month data showed that subjects were 12 and improved word score and word-color score of Stroop test. 2. 6-month data showed that subjects were 20 and improved word score, color score, and word-color score of Stroop test. Conclusions: 1. Relatively short term herbal medication and exercise are effective on the word score and word-color score of the Stroop test. 2. After short term herbal medication, continuous exercise maintained the effects of short term oriental medical treatment. 3. We need to consider the balance of left and right as an important point of exercise, but further study is needed.
