Therapeutic Efficacy of RehaCom in Children (۸-۱۲ Years Old) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

Attention deficit disorder is a psychiatric condition in children that impairs attention, response control, emotional regulation, and other cognitive functions. On the other hand, RehaCom is a cognitive rehabilitation software that has therapeutic effects on cognitive impairments in various conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of RehaCom on auditory and visual response control, as well as auditory and visual attention in children with attention deficit disorder. Twenty children aged ۸ to ۱۲ were selected (۱۰ in the experimental group and ۱۰ in the control group). Brain Mapping(QEEG) and the IVA۲ test were conducted for all participants, while only individuals in the experimental group received twenty ۴۵-minute sessions of RehaCom training, three sessions per week. The results showed that RehaCom therapy significantly improved auditory and visual response control in children with ADHD. Therefore, RehaCom may have the potential to alter the structural and functional brain characteristics related to response control."
