Introduction: Disorder of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a common disorder, important and associated with poor growth of the nervous system, which has negative educational, behavioral and social consequences. Considering the drawbacks of previous studies, this study aimed to study the effectiveness of neurofeedback on impulsivity in children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity.
Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. A total of 20 male students with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity way purposive sampling in two groups (N = 10; Mage = 10.02, SD = 1.03) and control (N = 10; Mage = 9.02 , SD = 0.91) were assigned to the accident. All subjects were evaluated before and after treatment with continuous audio visual performance test (IVE). The experimental group was evaluated for quantitative electroencephalographic quantitative (QEEG) treatment protocol. Subjects in the experimental group received a neurofeedback training at the school during the 2 months and 3 times a week, and the control group remained on the waiting list for a total of 20 sessions of 45 minutes. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis.
Results: Data analysis indicated changes in the scores of participants in the research from pre-test to post-test. Thus, neurofeedback training has been shown to increase the visual response control of children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (P <0.001). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of auditory control (P> 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, neurofeedback is a suitable treatment for reducing impulsivity in children with attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. It is suggested that this study be carried out to a wider level in order to achieve reliable results.
