Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies regarding the Neurological soft signs (NSS) in Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, there were a few studies regarding the effects of current therapeutic methods on NSS in children with ADHD in Iran. This study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of Drug therapy and attentional plays on these signs. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test, and a control group, in which 100 pupils with a diagnosis of ADHD participated in the academic year of 2016-2017. Following the administration of the Cambridge Neurological Inventory (CNI) and Conners scale, and according to pupils’ scores and their cut-off point, the subjects were divided into two groups: low scores and high scores of NSS signs. Each group was randomly assigned into three groups (two experimental and one control), which were six groups. After introducing the interventions, the data were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: The data analysis revealed a significant difference between experimental and control groups; two interventions have reduced the signs based on the severity of NSS signs and hyperactivity. Drug therapy was more effective on severe Neurological soft signs, while Attentional games were more effective on low NSS. Conclusion: The results could be useful for therapists as a guide in selecting the type of therapy according to the severity of Neurological soft signs.
