Abstract

Introduction:The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of electrical stimulation of the brain cortex on reducing and improving behavioral problems in children with ADHD disorders aged 7-12 years.Method: 22 children from 7 to 12 years of age whose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was confirmed by a psychologist or psychiatrist, or diagnosed with Clinical interview based on DSM-V diagnostic criteria and Parent Conners Test, Were divided into two experimental and control groups. Before the treatment, CBCL questionnaire was performed for children in both groups. The experimental group was treated by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at FC3 and FC4 sites for 15 days. CBCL test was performed after treatment and again at intervals of two months after the completion of treatment.Results: Analysis of the research data with central indicators, Average and standard deviations, and variance with repeated measurements showed a significant difference between the behavioral Features of children under treatment and the children of the control group.Conclusion: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the FC3 and FC4 regions can help improve the behavioral Features of hyperactive children.
