Mindfulness Meditation Training in Adults and Adolescents With ADHD: A Feasibility Study (Journal of Attention Disorders [PubMed], November 19, 2007)<\/a><\/p>

In the study, it was found that:<\/p>

\u201cSeventy-eight percent of participants reported a reduction in total ADHD symptoms, with 30% reporting at least a 30% symptom reduction (a 30% reduction in symptoms is often used to identify clinically significant improvement in ADHD medication trials). Because the majority of participants were receiving medication treatment, for many these declines represent improvement above and beyond what benefits were already being provided by medication.\u201d<\/p>

Brief Summary of Mindfulness Research from the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center<\/strong><\/p>

The following summary was created by Dr. Lisa Flook and Greg Flaxman. Researchers\u2019 interest in mindfulness practice has steadily increased as studies continue to reveal its beneficial effects.
