| description | Background: This disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder related to childhood that can be extended to adolescence and adulthood; but most of the studies were conducted with the concentration of different therapies in childhood and the importance of this disorder in adulthood is ignored. Aims: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tDCS on improving the emotional and cognitive symptoms of adults ADHD. Method: This study was an experimental study with pre-test and post-test. The statistical population included all people with ADHD in Isfahan who referred to one of the major centers equipped with neurotherapy (120 people). The sample also included 40 of these individuals (2 groups, 20 people) who met the research criteria. The intervention sessions consisted of 15 sessions with the treatment protocol of F3 and F4. Participants completed the Adult ADHD self-report scale (2003), STROOP test (1935), Wisconsin sorting cart test (1984), tower of London test (1982), continues performance test (1956), difficulty in emotion regulation scale (2004) and Eysenck Impulsivity Questionnaire (1977). After conducting the research process, covariance method was used for data analysis by SPSS21 software. Results: The results showed that tDCS experimental group significantly improved the scores of emotion regulation, impulsivity, Stroop scores, tower of London, Wisconsin, attention and concentration, and the component of inattention in ADHD scale due to the independent variable(p< 0/005). No significant difference was observed in the hyperactivity component. Conclusions: it can be concluded that tDCS can be use as a single treatment or also a complementary therapy along other treatment for ADHD patients |
