ObjectiveTo observe the effect of sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
MethodsThe clinical data of 96 patients with ADHD diagnosed between January 2009 and March 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups by the table of random number. The trail group (n=48) received the combination therapy of sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride; while the control group (n=48) only received the medication of methylphenidate hydrochloride. The scores of sensory integration ability rating scale, integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA-CPT), Conner's behavior rating scale, Chinese Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (C-WISC) and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups.
ResultsThe scores of the sensory integration ability rating scale, FRCQ, FAQ (IVA-CPT), PIQ, VIQ, FIQ, C factor (C-WISC) in both of the two groups were significantly higher after the therapy; while the scores of the study, behavior, somatopsychic disturbance, impulsion, hyperactivity index and anxiety factor significantly decreased after the treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the trial group's scores of sensory integration ability rating scale, IVA-CPT, Conner's behavior rating scale, C-WISC were improved obviously, and the adverse reactions were significantly less (P<0.05).
ConclusionThe sensory integration training combined with methylphenidate hydrochloride is sage and effective on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia are common neurodevelopmental disorders in children, with a comorbidity rate reaches as high as 25%-48%. Clinically characterised by inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and impaired reading fluency, accuracy, and spelling, these conditions significantly impact children’s cognitive function, psychological state, and social behavioural development, increasing burdens on families and society. Nevertheless, research into their aetiology and treatment remains exploratory. This paper aims to review potential underlying mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for the co-occurrence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyslexia, providing guidance for clinical identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with dyslexia.
