TLDR
Better evidence for efficacy from blinded assessments is required for behavioral interventions, neurofeedback, cognitive training, and restricted elimination diets before they can be supported as treatments for core ADHD symptoms.
Abstract
A meta-analytic review of six types of nonpharmacological interventions, including dietary and psychological treatments, for children with ADHD found positive effects on ADHD symptoms for all types when raters were aware of treatment allocation (unblinded conditions). However, when raters were blinded, statistically significant effects on ADHD symptoms were found only for supplementation with omega-3/omega-6 free fatty acids or elimination of artificial food colorings, effects that were small or restricted to food-sensitive individuals.
