The problem
Intervention: Adenotonsillectomy (surgical removal of adenoids and tonsils)
Who it was tested with: Pediatric patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Review of relevant studies showed adenotonsillectomy to be effective in the short-term treatment of ADHD symptoms." The review identified adenotonsillectomy as a viable intervention for ADHD symptoms in children with OSA, though effectiveness is limited to short-term outcomes and other treatments require further evaluation.
The review notes that long-term benefits of surgical intervention have not been adequately evaluated, patient factors influencing treatment success are unclear, and only short-term effectiveness is documented
