The effectiveness of transcranial direct electrical stimulation (tdcs) on increasing attention and reducing aggression in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Investigating transcranial direct electrical stimulation (tdcs) is effective in increasing attention and reducing aggression in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Design
Among the people who have been diagnosed, according to the entry and exit criteria, we prepare a list and randomly select 40 of them, and randomly divide them into two groups. Then, by chance, one of the groups is used as a witness, and the other group is used as an experimental group (transcranial electrical stimulation of the brain).
Settings and conduct
40 people were selected from among the people suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who referred to Sama Shahr Psychiatry Clinic in Tehran and answered Bass and Perry Aggression Questionnaire and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Self-report Questionnaire then randomly using rand soft function. Excel software was assigned to two groups, and after the two groups were determined, each group was placed in one of the plans, and the control group did not receive any information about the process and implementation method until the end of the research. Treatment sessions in the field of transcranial electrical stimulation of Mughar were received at Sama Psychiatry Clinic twice a week for 10 sessions of 20 minutes.
