Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine Comparative Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Forbrain on Auditory Attention in Children with ADHD.
Methods
The research method was a Quasi -experimental with a pre-test and post-test design and a control group. the statistical population included all children aged 6 to 11 with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder who were referred to Tavanesh treatment center in 2022. In order to sample 20 people in each group (60 people in three groups in total) from among the people who have been diagnosed with hyperactivity by a psychiatrist, they were selected by Convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned in three groups.For this purpose, one treatment group was considered in 10 20-minute Forbrain sessions, one treatment group was considered in 10 20-minute TDCS sessions and the Third group was considered as control.
Findings:
The results of the analysis of covariance showed that both treatment methods were significantly effective in improving auditory attention, but 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 equivalent therapeutic potential. Given their non-invasive nature and ease of administration, these tools offer valuable support for cognitive rehabilitation in ADHD management.
It is suggested that additional studies be conducted to compare this method with other methods..
