Background & objective: Due to the consequences of attention deficit - hyperactivity disorder, various therapy approach have been formed. This research aimed to investigate a comparative study between Barkley behavioral therapy, Minuchin structural family therapy and neuro-feedback on anxiety among children suffering from attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder. Methods: This study was a quasi - experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. The study population consisted of all primary school student in Karaj in 2018. By using cluster sampling method, 400 students selected and screening conducted for hyperactivity and anxiety. The sample consisted of 40 (10 for each group) students and their mothers were selected by as an available and randomly recruits to each of groups. Instruments for gathering data were semi-structured diagnostic interview (K-SADS), short diagnostic scale for hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder (Caners, 1999) and multidimensional child anxiety scale (March et al., 1997). Then, the participants in the experimental groups (Three groups) participated in Barkley behavioral therapy (9 sessions of 90 min), Minuchin structural family therapy (8 sessions of 90 min) and neuro-feedback (25 sessions of 30 min), while the control group did not receive any intervention. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS.v21 software and statistical tests such as MANCOVA and ANCOVA. Data analysig was performed with SPSS.v16 and significant levels of all tests set on 0.05. Results: The results indicate that Barkley behavioral therapy, Minuchin structural family therapy and neuro-feedback have significant impact on anxiety among children suffering from attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder, generally (P < 0.01). Furthermore, post-hoc test revealed that the efficacy of therapies on anxiety of experiment groups is different (P < 0.01). Three months follow-up results represent resistance of therapies (P > 0.01). Conclusion: So, using of these therapies for reduction of anxiety among children suffering from attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder. Key words: Barkley behavioral therapy, Minuchin structural family therapy, neuro-feedback, anxiety, attention deficit – hyperactivity disorder

Abstract Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a significant neurodevelopment disorder among children and adolescents, with 5 % prevalence. Bone fractures account for 25 % of accidents and injuries among all children and adolescents. Considering the characteristics of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in children with ADHD, it is critical to examine bone fractures among these children. The objective of our meta-analysis was to determine the prevalence of bone fractures among children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods We completed a systematic review and meta-analysis using an electronic search of the following databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Scopus. The search terms used were: “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder OR attention deficit disorder” and “bone fracture*.” We included studies examining patients 18 years or younger who were diagnosed with ADHD and tracked (prospectively or retrospectively) for five or more years. Effect size (es), using a random effects model, was calculated. We registered the review protocol with PROSPERO (CRD42019119527). Results From 445 records retrieved, 31 full text articles were reviewed and 5 articles met inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. The summary es revealed the prevalence of bone fractures among children and adolescents with ADHD to be 4.83 % (95 % CI: 3.07–6.58 %). The location of bone fractures, using a subset of data, showed a distribution of 69.62 %, 22.85 %, and 7.53 % in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and other anatomical regions, respectively. Another subset of studies revealed a 2.55-fold increase in the prevalence of fractures among the children with ADHD compared to their counterparts. Conclusions Awareness of these findings is critical to physicians, parents, and policy makers to create safe environments and provide supports in order to optimize the health and safety of children and adolescents with ADHD.

  Introducción: El trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad es una condición que se asocia a inatención, hiperactividad e impulsividad y puede persistir hasta la edad adulta incidiendo en el deterioro social, académico y funcional. El ejercicio físico ha demostrado ser favorable para generar cambios positivos en la persona que padece cualquier enfermedad, mejorando así su calidad de vida. Sin embargo, los juegos deportivos no tienen un consenso como herramienta terapéutica en este trastorno. Objetivo: El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar el efecto de los juegos pre deportivos en niños y adolescentes entre 5 y 18 años con trastornos de déficit atencional e hiperactividad, en la impulsividad, inatención, hiperactividad y autocontrol a través de una revisión a la literatura. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda en distintas bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, WoS y Scielo (artículos en inglés y español) con las palabras clave ("Child" OR "Adolescent") AND ("Sport") AND ("attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity" OR "Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder"). Se incluyeron artículos desde el año 2010 hasta el 2020 y se realizó con fecha 10 de diciembre del 2020. Resultados: De un total de 392 artículos encontrados en las bases de datos, sólo cinco artículos cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y de exclusión, de los cuales tres artículos muestran mejoras en el comportamiento social, dos muestran mejoras en la agresividad, mientras que en la variable de hiperactividad, un artículo mostró mejoras significativas mientras que otro no. Conclusión: Las actividades físico deportivas colectivos o grupales, proporcionan beneficios a los estudiantes que padecen Trastorno de déficit atención e hiperactividad. Abstract: Introduction: Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity is a disorder associated with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity and can persist into adulthood, affecting social, academic and functional deterioration. Physical exercise has proven to be favorable for generating positive changes in the person suffering from any disease, thus improving their quality of life. However, sports games do not have a consensus as a therapeutic tool in this disorder. Objective: The objective of this research is to determine the effect of pre-sport games in children and adolescents between 5 and 18 years old with Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity on impulsivity, inattention, hyperactivity and self-control through a review of the literature. Methodology: A search was carried out in different databases PubMed, Scopus, WoS and Scielo (articles in English and Spanish) with the keywords ('Child' OR 'Adolescent') AND ('Sport') AND ('attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity 'OR' Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder '). Articles were included from 2010 to 2020 and it was carried out on December 10, 2020. Results: Out of a total of 392 articles found in the databases, only five articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, of which three articles show improvements in social behavior, two show improvements in aggressiveness, while in the variable of hyperactivity, one article showed significant improvements while another did not. Conclusion: Individual or group physical sports activities provide benefits to students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Hyperactivity Disorder

The pathophysiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) involves deficits in performance monitoring and adaptive adjustments. Yet, the developmental trajectory and underlying neural correlates of performance monitoring deficits in youth with ADHD remain poorly understood. To address the gap, this study recruited 77 children and adolescents with ADHD and 77 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HC), ages 8–18 years, who performed an arrow flanker task during electroencephalogram recording. Compared to HC, participants with ADHD responded more slowly and showed larger reaction time variability (RTV) and reduced post-error slowing; they also exhibited reduced error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity effects, and reduced N2 and P3 congruency effects. Age effects were observed across groups: with increasing age, participants responded faster, with less variability, and with increased post-error slowing. They also exhibited increased ERN effects and increased N2 and P3 congruency effects. Increased RTV and reduced P3 amplitude in incongruent trials were associated with increased ADHD Problems Scale scores on the Child Behavior Checklist across groups. The altered behavioral and ERP responses in ADHD are consistent with the pattern associated with younger age across groups. Further research with a longitudinal design may determine specific aspects of developmental alteration and deficits in ADHD during performance monitoring.
