Question
The hospital diagnosis indicates that the patient has ADHD, a condition that has persisted for a year with varying manifestations. Currently, the patient’s head and neck frequently make involuntary movements, sometimes accompanied by arm movements. The patient reports that these movements stop when they concentrate on their attention.
Answer
If there are no abnormalities in the patient’s brainpower and other causes such as lead poisoning have been ruled out, acupuncture treatment can be considered. However, it is recommended to also combine rehabilitation training, such as normal attention training, sensory integration training, and brain function biofeedback. These methods can help improve symptoms but may require a longer period of time. It is suggested to visit the attention deficit clinic or child care department of a local large children’s hospital to find out if there are any relevant rehabilitation training programs. Wishing your child good health.
