چکیده
Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are distracted easily, unable to sit still, overactive, lack of patience and concentration, and have short attention span. They can’t get along well with others and usually have learning disability and poor self-confidence. The traditional treatments of ADHD include medications, rehabilitation and behavior modification. The present study explored the combination effect of rehabilitation and cinnamon aromatherapy in twenty children with ADHD. After six months treatment, the SNAP-IV Questionnaire and child activity scales were 58 ±2.6 and 102±5.8 in experimental group, and 64±5.8 and 110±7.2 in control group. The SNAP-IV Questionnaire and child activity scale were significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). Cinnamon aromatherapy is a safe and convenient method for children with ADHD. Aromatherapy also is more acceptable in children than traditional medical therapy.
