Comparison of The effectiveness of Fluorotime play Therapy and Neurofeedback Therapy with computer cognitive Exercises on impulsivity in Children with Attention deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy along with computer cognitive exercises on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. The present study is quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a group awaiting treatment. The statistical population included children aged 8 to 11 years with attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder in Neishabour. The sample size was 45 people who were selected by voluntary sampling method and were randomly divided into three groups of first and second experiment and control. parents answered the Hirschfield et al. (1965) Impulsivity Scale (IS) in the pre-test and post-test. the first experimental group underwent fluoro time play therapy intervention in 12 sessions and the second experimental group underwent neurofeedback therapy intervention in 30 sessions. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that Fluorithime therapy and neurofeedback therapy are effective on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (p <0.05). also, the results showed There was a difference between the effectiveness of fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy on impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (p <0.05). Therefore fluoro time play therapy and neurofeedback therapy along with computer cognitive exercises can help reduce the impulsivity of children with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder.
