Brief Summary  
Efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment protocol in the management of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – An open labelled single arm clinical trial
• Introduction: - ADHD characterized by inattention, including increased distractibility & difficulty sustaining attention; poor impulse control and decreased self-inhibitory capacity; and motor over activity and motor restlessness. Above characteristics of ADHD point towards imbalance of Shareerika (specifically Vata) and Manasika (specifically Raja) Dosha. In modern practice ADHD treatment is based on psychiatric counselling and psycho stimulant medication which have safety concerns. Ayurveda has mentioned Medhya Rasayana drugs that enhance concentration, retention abilities of brain. Rasayana Medhya drugs may be effective in ADHD as the disorder affects the Manasik Bhavas in a child influencing both Shareerika and Manasika Dosha. Considering the same, we hypothesize that they may be effective in ADHD. As the therapy requires to calm the child and increase span of concentration. 
• Rationale for selection of the topic: - According to World Health Organization, in 2020, the number of people living with mental disorders rose significantly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Initial estimates show a 26% and 28% increase respectively for anxiety and major depressive disorders in just one year These Children constitute about 40% of our population and in Indian studies the reported rate of psychopathology among children is 5-15%. A time has thus arrived for theory and practice of child psychology, child psychiatry and paediatric behavioural medicine to be adapted to ground realities and priorities in India.

• Materials and Methods: - 20 desired Patients of ADHD will be volunteers which are between age group of 6 to 12 year and fulfils the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria.
