Most were published after 2020 and employed non-randomized experimental, cross-sectional, qualitative, or case study designs. Sample sizes ranged from 1-405, with participants aged 13-49. Six themes emerged: (1) comorbid ADHD symptoms in individuals with menstruation-related disorders; (2) menstrual difficulties and ADHD symptoms; (3) menstrual phase-related worsening of ADHD symptoms; (4) menstrual side-effects of stimulant medication; (5) menstrual pain-related attentional interference; and (6) menstruation-tailored interventions. Quality appraisal indicated that half of the studies were rated Very Good. Gaps in reporting sample size justification and measures of gender identity were common.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Emerging evidence links menstrual health and ADHD symptoms.
