Abstract

Background

Fasting in Ramadan, a holy month in Islam, is considered a religious obligation to Muslims after puberty. Fasting during Ramadan entails abstinence from consuming food and liquids, as well as abstaining from other activities, including smoking and sexual activity, from dawn until sunset. Literature exists regarding the management of multiple medical conditions impacted by the month of fasting; however, limited literature exists to guide the management of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) during Ramadan.

Methods

This systematic review employed a PUBMED search which was conducted using keywords ((ADHD) AND (Muslims)) OR ((ADHD) AND (FASTING)) OR ((ADHD) AND (RAMADAN)) OR ((RAMADAN) AND (MANAGEMENT)) and search strategies to find existing literature on ADHD management during Ramadan or while fasting.

Results

Eight hundred and sixty-one results were obtained. Of these, full texts of clinical trials, systematic reviews, reviews, randomized control trials, and meta-analyses resulted in 303 results that were screened by title or abstract for relevance to the topic. The duplicate articles were removed. Eighty-nine results were incorporated into this paper, including full articles, book excerpts, and online articles.

Discussion

Muslim adolescents may face challenges with academic and social functioning as they navigate psychosocial changes in the context of Ramadan. ADHD management options should be discussed with individuals who are planning to fast. Pharmacologic management options include continuing on the current regimen, dose adjustment to mitigate side effect exacerbation, a change in medication class, or a change in medication formulation. For severe cases or cases with comorbid conditions, continued fasting may not be recommended. In these cases, the patient should attempt to seek counsel with their community’s religious scholar in collaboration with their medication provider. Ultimately, there are limitations in the available data, and there is a need for further investigation into the impacts of fasting during Ramadan on individuals with ADHD and the effectiveness of interventions to promote treatment adherence.
