Saffron vs. Methylphenidate
In a randomized, double-blind pilot study, researchers compared saffron with methylphenidate in children and adolescents with ADHD over a six-week period.
Both groups showed improvement in measured ADHD symptoms during the study period.
Researchers reported no statistically significant difference between the two groups on the primary rating scales.
The authors noted that larger and longer studies are still needed.
