Although conventional treatments, such as stimulant medication, have been shown to be helpful for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), some people also try complementary health approaches to help manage ADHD symptoms. 

• Limited evidence suggests that melatonin supplements may be helpful for sleep problems in children with ADHD. 

• A substantial amount of research has been done on omega-3 fatty acid supplements for ADHD symptoms, but it is still unclear whether they are helpful. The evidence on Ginkgo biloba and Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark) is also inconclusive.  

• Studies of neurofeedback, a technique in which people are trained to alter their brain wave patterns, have had mixed results.
