CRD SUMMARY: This review identified trials of traditional Chinese medicine compared with methylphenidate in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. The authors concluded that traditional Chinese medicine may be equal or superior to methylphenidate, but that more research was needed. Several methodological problems with the review may mean that the authors’ conclusions are not reliable.
