Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the Comparative Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Forbrain on Auditory Attention in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Methods: The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and a control group. The statistical population included all children diagnosed with ADHD who were referred to the Tehran Tavanesh Treatment Center in 2022. From this population, 60 children were purposefully selected and administered the IVA-2 test. Based on the test results, participants were randomly assigned to three equal groups: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), Forbrain, and control. The two experimental groups received ten 20-minute intervention sessions, while the control group received none.
Results: The results revealed that both treatment methods were significantly effective in improving auditory attention. At the same time, no significant difference was observed between the effectiveness of the two methods. The findings indicate that both tDCS and Forebrain can be used as non-invasive and safe interventions to improve auditory attention in children with ADHD.
Conclusion: Both tDCS and Forbrain interventions significantly improved auditory attention in children with ADHD. The absence of significant differences between them suggests that they have equivalent therapeutic potential. Given their non-invasive nature and ease of administration, these interventions offered a valuable support for cognitive rehabilitation in ADHD management.
Additional studies should be conducted to compare this method with other methods.
