Background and objective: Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder characterized by persistent symptoms of neglect, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Some people often have symptoms of neglect. Others have mainly symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity. Some people have both types of symptoms. Symptoms begin in childhood and can interfere with everyday life, including social relationships and school or work performance. Since the 1970s, numerous studies have identified defects in executive function as the primary cause of ADHD. So the present study was aimed at comparing the effectiveness of neurofeedback, transcranial brain stimulation (TDCS) on the executive functions of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in 1403-1402.
Method of study: the present study was objective, functional, and methodologically semi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and two Test groups including neurofeedback and transcranial direct current stimulation and a control group. The statistical research community includes all children aged 7 to 11 with ADHD / Attention Deficit Disorder visiting the dawn Counseling Center in the city of gecseran. The sampling method in this study was simple by random sampling. In this method, 45 children were randomly selected after being diagnosed with ADHD and confirmed by a psychologist with a clinical interview.
Findings: the results showed that the mean difference between neurofeedback treatments and transcranial brain stimulation in the executive function variable is at a significant level.
Conclusion: therefore, it can be concluded that neurofeedback and transcranial stimulation (tDCS) treatments have a significant impact on improving the executive functions of children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, which can be considered by education centers, educators, teachers and parents of these children.
