Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been one of the leading causes of neuropsychiatric disorders among children, which is why it is extremely essential to have a clear understanding of the disease and the new and upcoming treatment options available. Yoga has been one of the most recently explored and newer techniques that have been employed in the treatment of this disorder. It has become extremely crucial to understand the importance of using supportive treatments in the management of ADHD owing to the innumerable side effects caused by stimulant medication and the growing demands of parental concern about starting their children on stimulant medication at a very young age. Through this review, we would like to shed light on how yoga helps improve the lives of children with ADHD and how it can be used as a supplementary therapy for children with ADHD. After thoroughly screening various articles on this topic, we selected a total of seven articles for this study to highlight the effect that yoga has had on the improvement of ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, we also highlight the impact of such interventions in a family-based environment and how they help improve the immediate environment of a child with this disorder, thereby facilitating the development of a conducive environment for growth. We also highlight how these interventions help control various miscellaneous symptoms among children, such as stress, depression, and anxiety, as these concomitant symptoms are often associated with ADHD. This review article helps explore how yoga has proved to be a very holistic approach to the management of children with ADHD.
注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）一直是儿童神经精神疾病的主要病因之一，这就是为什么清楚了解该疾病以及现有的和即将出现的治疗方案极为重要的原因。瑜伽是最近探索并应用于该疾病治疗的新技术之一。由于刺激性药物会产生无数副作用，且家长越来越担心在孩子很小的时候就给他们使用刺激性药物，因此了解在ADHD管理中使用支持性治疗的重要性变得极其关键。通过这篇综述，我们希望阐明瑜伽如何帮助改善ADHD儿童的生活，以及它如何用作ADHD儿童的辅助治疗方法。在全面筛选了关于该主题的各种文章后，我们总共选择了七篇文章进行本研究，以突出瑜伽对改善ADHD症状所产生的效果。此外，我们还强调了此类干预措施在家庭环境中的影响，以及它们如何帮助改善患有这种疾病的儿童的直接环境，从而为其成长营造一个有利的环境。我们还强调了这些干预措施如何帮助控制儿童的各种杂项症状，如压力、抑郁和焦虑，因为这些伴随症状通常与ADHD有关。这篇综述文章有助于探索瑜伽如何被证明是一种管理ADHD儿童的非常全面的方法。
