Dismantling cognitive-behavioural therapy components for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adolescents and adults: protocol for a network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) consists of multiple treatment techniques for each treatment model and is tailored to the patient's characteristics. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have reported that CBT is effective for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); however, which CBT components are effective is unknown. In order to provide the best treatment technique, it is important to know which therapeutic component or combination thereof is more effective and what the specific effect size is.

We will perform component network meta-analysis (cNMA). The search will include studies published from database inception up to 31 March 2022, in English. The electronic databases of MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, PsycINFO, ClinicalTrial
