<scp>CBT</scp> , parent training, and combined approaches for children with <scp>ADHD</scp> : A randomized study

Adjunctive CBT, parent training, and their combination were more effective than medication alone in reducing core ADHD symptoms and improving children's functioning. These findings support the integration of psychosocial interventions into routine ADHD treatment, especially in school and family settings where behavioural support is essential. However, the small sample size limits generalizability, and further research with larger samples, extended follow-up, and placebo-controlled designs is needed to confirm these results and guide evidence-based policy and practice.
