Background summary
The Netherlands
Study objective
Mindfulness training as well as medication will reduce symptoms of attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, not only directly after training but also at follow-up.
Study design
Pre intervention, post intervention (after 8 weeks), follow-up (after 16 weeks) and long term follow-up (after 9 months).
Intervention
Medication (methylphenidate; Ritalin): 8 weeks of optimal daily dose of Ritalin, followed by a second period of 8 weeks of optimally dosed Ritalin. Parents receive 2-3 standardized parental guidance/psycho education sessions.
Mindfulness training: children follow an 8-weeks mindfulness training of 1.5 hours per week plus daily homework (around 15-20 minutes per day). Parents participate in a parallel 8-weeks Mindful Parenting training of 1.5 hours a week plus daily homework (around 20-30 minutes a day). The second block of 8 weeks participants in the mindfulness group don't receive treatment. AFter follow-up measurement participants are not require to maintain treatment or can choose a different type of treatment.
