What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of trauma-adapted yoga (TAY) as a complementary intervention for adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and/or PTSD in child and adolescent psychiatry clinics. The study aims to assess the impact of an eight-week TAY program on mental health, quality of life, and self-care practices. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the yoga group or a waiting list, with analyses conducted to compare outcomes between these groups. The study also seeks to gather insights from adolescents, parents, and healthcare professionals regarding their experiences with TAY.
